The correct response is: **An enslaved person would count as three-fifths of a person in a state's population.**
The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that determined how enslaved individuals would be counted when apportioning representatives to the House of Representatives. It stipulated that each enslaved person would be counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of representation and taxation, which benefited Southern states by increasing their political power relative to free states.
