The correct answer is: **c. counted 3 out of 5 enslaved people toward gaining congressmen.**
The 3/5 Compromise was an agreement made during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 that determined how enslaved people would be counted for purposes of taxation and representation in Congress. It established that three-fifths of the enslaved population in a state would be counted when allocating seats in the House of Representatives and for direct taxation.
