Oooops, instead of 55 repersentatives allowed under the 3/5's law that would have expanded the Southern States repersentation in Congress, The number would have been 3/5's of that 55 number would have been 33 Repersentatives that would have been allowed to the Southern States, because of the Slave population and the 3/5's law, in that next Congress.
