The 3/5ths compromise? The wake of that compromise was more war deaths than every other war combined in American history; millions held in slavery; festering civic wounds in American cities; the abolition of federalism; and, quite possibly, the extinction of the American state to the exploitative grievance industries known as MSM news and socialism.

Uhh, the House/Senate was a compromise too. It wasn't just the 3/5ths clause.
