True. Northern states felt that slaves should not be included in a state's population for purposes of representation because they viewed slaves as property rather than citizens. This was part of the debate leading to the Three-Fifths Compromise, where it was ultimately decided that each slave would be counted as three-fifths of a person for representation and taxation purposes.

False. The delegates at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 did not debate revising the Declaration of Independence; instead, they focused on drafting a new Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. The Declaration of Independence was a separate document that had already been established in 1776.
