The statement, "We have a disadvantage if slaves are counted for government representation" represents the northern view point during the constitutional convention in the argument are slaves and representation
Explanation:
A constitutional convention is a meeting to write a new law or to amend an existing one. Members of the Constitutional Convention (often known as "delegates"), but not necessarily or wholly, elected by people's vote.
Constitutional Convention of 1787 had a controversial issue of whether Slavic peoples were deemed in their representatives in Congress as a community member or whether they would be taken into consideration as property instead, and as such, for identification purposes, they would not be included.
Delegates against slavery recommended that only free people in each state be numbered for distribution, although on the opposite side, slave-friendly delegates disagreed and required slaves to be counted as their exact number.
