Seeds of compromise on personhood

Conflict Of Interest: From the foundation of the United States of America, our leaders have repeatedly and deliberately failed to understand that personhood is intrinsic to being human. Starting with the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, here is a brief history of decisions, at the highest level of our government, that legalized 'wickedness in high places,' 1 legitimized man's inhumanity to man and licensed licentious behavior.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a deal between Southern slave states who wanted to preserve slavery and the Northern states who wanted to preserve the union, where three-fifths of the population of slaves would be counted for enumeration purposes regarding both the distribution of taxes and the apportionment of the members of the United States House of Representatives. The three-fifths compromise is found in Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America. Even today, compromise is a legislative model embraced by both the Pro-Abortion and Pro-Life movements.
