Detailed explanation-1: -In amending the Articles, the North wanted slaves to count for more than the South did because the objective was to determine taxes paid by the states to the federal government.
Detailed explanation-2: -Northerners at the Constitutional Convention wanted slaves not to count as persons at all, because the Northerners didn’t want the slave states to get all those seats in the House. Not all Northerners opposed slavery, but they opposed giving the South political power based on nonvoting slaves.
