Why was the issue of slavery so important to the delegates of the constitutional convention?

both regions recognized that how enslaved people were counted would significantly affect representation.

the northern states were convinced that enslaved people should be included fully as a part of the population.

the southern states knew counting enslaved people as part of the population would damage their governmental position.

neither region wanted the enslaved people counted as part of the population because it would skew their representation.

Both regions recognized that how enslaved people were counted would significantly affect representation.

After determining the lower house (House of Representatives) would be based on population, the issue of slavery became prominent.

Though there was some discussion about the legality or continuation of slavery most agreed to leave the institution alone. However, the concern was how to count slaves. Though there were slaves in the North the largest portion was in the South. Slaves outnumbered whites in the South and counting them in representation would shift power to the South put also set a precedent regarding slaves as persons.
