Don’t change the argument; we’re not talking about hypocrisy and you know it. We’re talking about the 3/5 Compromise and how it came to be.

You’re the guy (or gal) who said that the Southern states didn’t want to count the slaves at all! Then, in your very next breath you said the Southern states waxed indignant when it was proposed by the non-slave states that they couldn’t! You can’t have it both ways.

When it came to apportionment for the purpose of taxation the south didn’t want blacks included in the count. At all. When it came to apportionment for the purpose of representation the south wanted them counted at full value even though they would be denied the representation afforded to their masters. If that isn’t hypocrisy I don’t know what is.

It’s the south that wanted it both ways.
