I am not sure what point you are trying to make but the 3/5 clause demonstrates the beauty of compromise. The 3/5 compromise caused Fredrick Douglas to declare that the Constitution was an anti-slavery document.

3/5 applied to non-free persons. We have no non-free persons (unless you count jailbirds, which apparently we don’t).
