    During the Constitutional Convention, disagreement over how to count enslaved people for the purpose of representation was settled by the "Three-Fifths Compromise".

    Answer: Option C

    Explanation:

    The "Three-Fifths Compromise" was established by James Wilson and later the same concept was utilized in 11th June 1787 by Charles Pinckney during U. S. Constitutional Convention. The concept was based on method of numbering of slaves, for determining overall population for legislative representation and taxing objectives, because same number is used for calculating number of seats state would have in the U. s. House of Representatives for the ahead 10 years.

    The compromise solution was to count as individuals for this purpose three out of every five slaves. The consequence was to give a 3rd more seats in Congress to the Southern States and a 3rd more electoral votes than if slaves were ignored, but less than if slaves and free people were counted equally.
