“The 3/5th person is about as imposed as it gets.”

This shows you have no understanding whatsoever of the time, nor of the founders intention. The 3/5th’s clause was a victory for the anti-slave position, not a diminishing of persons of a certain color. That all of the states adopted this clause, including the pro-slavery states, is proof of the accomplishment of the founders.

Or it imposed as the highest law of the land that some people were not people. That you take the most positive view is nice but it is not the only view.
