Three out of five slaves were counted for the census, which means each of them were considered 3/3 of a human being. Adding in the other two to conclude they were all considered 2/3 of a human being is convoluted logic. Furthermore, it had nothing to do with whether or not they were considered human beings and everything to do with the numbers. You know...math.No, I'm saying they were not counted for legislative representation and taxing purposes based on population.
That's even worse than saying they're 3/5 of a human being. Bottom line, the contortionists wrote slavery into the Constitution. That's the main point.
The Constitution says that the total size of a state's delegation to the House (ie, number of Representatives) depends on its population. I believe it's something like one for every 40k or so people. If I go to Mexico and bring back 100 million Mexicans to Los Angeles, does California then get 2,000 additional Representatives?
