And they weren't counted as 3/5 of a human because they thought of them that way.  It was tax and representation that were at stake.  Some people may not have considered slaves human at all, but that's not what this was about.And it wasn't blacks per se as a free black person would be counted as one.

Technically the 3/5th's compromise is still a part of the Constitution, but I think we all understand Fred's point of the many injustices present in the Constitution at the time it was written. If we want to be originalist, we'd have a VERY different Presidential election process.
