The correct response for a governmental policy contained in the Constitution aimed at creating or sustaining inequality between people is the Three-Fifths Compromise.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a constitutional agreement reached during the 1787 Constitutional Convention that determined that, for purposes of representation and taxation, enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person. This compromise institutionalized racial inequality by counting enslaved people in a way that affected political power and representation while still treating them as property without rights.
