How were the interests of white slave owners protected through the Electoral College?
A) The law counted white women in slave-holding states as full citizens for the purpose of determining the number of electors a state had but did not count women in states that prohibited slavery.
B) The law allowed states with slavery to count enslaved people as three-fifths of a person for purposes of the U.S. Census, which determines how many electors a state is awarded, without giving enslaved people the right to vote.
C) The law allowed slave owners' votes to be weighted more heavily than the votes of people who did not own slaves, arguing that, since they owned more property, they paid higher taxes and should have more influence over elections.
D) The law counted enslaved Africans and African Americans as people for the purpose of the Census, which determines the number of electors in the Electoral College, but did not count free blacks-people who had escaped slavery or been born into free families-the same way, giving more weight to votes in Southern states.
