which of the following statement false

Before amendments, the Constitution included several compromises on, or protections of slavery, such as:

Three-fifths of the slaves in each state were counted as part of the population in determining the number of Representatives the state would have in the House and amount of direct taxes levied.

3.

Slaves escaping across state lines, even into a state where slavery was abolished, were still legally slaves and had to be captured and returned to their masters.

4.

Slaves were guaranteed voting rights, but only if formally freed by their masters.
