Explanation:

Three fifth compromise solved the issue of apportionment. When the delegates met at the constitutional convention their main issue was find a plan for national government and how the seats would be distributed and allotted between the large and small states. James Wilson and Roger Sherman were the two delegates who proposed the three fifth compromise. As per the compromise five slaves were counted as three individuals in terms of taxes and apportionment of representation.
