Answer 1

The three-fifths compromise was not an original idea of the men at the Constitutional Convention. Often referred to as the "federal ratio," this method of counting slaves had previously been debated in the Continental Congress. It was part of a compromise devised by James Madison in 1783 which was initially rejected and then revived by Alexander Hamilton. It was presented as a proposed amendment to the Articles of Confederation in hopes of providing the federal government with a more reliable income. 1 However, it was never put into use until it was implemented by the ratification of the Constitution. http://ashbrook.org/publications/respub-v6n1-boyd/
