    In 1787, the 3/5 compromise was implemented to give African Americans some say in government. Becuase African Americans were seen as "property" at the time, their votes were only given 3/5 the value of the vote. This was supposed to be a compromise becuase some people didn't think that African Americans should have any rights because they were "property", and some people thought that they should be given rights since they are people.
