the ec actually has nothing to do with slavery, kek. at first the big states like va and pa wanted a population based system, since even with slaves there were about 500k white people in va compared to 500k people total in pa. but then all the little cunts like delaware were like "fuck you" so they bifurcated it into the house and senate but then virginia was like "fuck you" so niggers were 3/5 of a vote for the purposes of house representation. this also became the rule for the ec but the ec was always population based, 3/5 was just a check on virginia's power.
