Answer:

The Three-Fifths Compromise is an agreement solved the disagreement over whether slaves should be counted for the purposes of representation

Step-by-step explanation:

This compromise was between northern and southern states.The South wanted slaves to be counted as whole, people so that they could have higher population numbers which would result in more representatives in the House.

The North, however, did not want them to have more representation and argued that if they are going to treat the slaves as though they were livestock, then they should count for the same towards population - which is none.
