Answer:

Three fifths Of black People were counted as population

Step-by-step explanation:

If the government were to include all black people, it would create an unfair advantage to Southern states that had large plantations, and thus would give more representatives and electoral electors to thise states. So the government made it so that for every 5 black men, only 3 were mark as population.
