## Definition

A Three-fifths Clause claim is a legal assertion tied to Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, historically known as the Three-fifths Clause. This clause counted enslaved individuals as three-fifths of a person for purposes of representation and taxation, but it was effectively rendered obsolete by the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery.
