The proposed constitution actually strengthened the power of states that allowed enslavement in several ways. Through the "fugitive clause," for example, governments of free states had to help recapture people who had escaped their enslavers in other states.

Equally disturbing was the "three-fifths formula." Enslavers wanted the people they'd enslaved to be counted as part of the state's population, since a higher state population meant more power in government. So, states that allowed enslavement and free states came up with a compromise.

What was this compromise called?

A)Compromise of 1787

B)3/5 Compromise

C)Northwest Compromise

D)The Great Debate
