Final answer:

Gouverneur Morris opposed the Three-Fifths Compromise due to its impact on representation and the slave trade.


Explanation:

Gouverneur Morris was against the Three-Fifths Compromise as it counted each black individual as three-fifths of a person for representation purposes, giving extra influence to white voters in districts with many slaves. The compromise also addressed the issue of the slave trade, not halting it until 1808.
