gave the white South greater power in national affairs than the size of its free population warranted.

Explanation:

Although the three-fifths clause is no longer in effect as at today, it did not expire as a result of key sectional compromise at the Constitutional Convention. One notable thing about that three-fifth clause was that it gave southern states more representatives in the House because of their slaves, instead of just for the free people. This meant that the southern states had greater power in national affairs more than what the size of the free population was supposed to.
