The Southern States wanted to have Representatives proportional to their population, and they also wanted to count slaves in that census.

And in the interests of unity, the North agreed to the various compromises.

An interesting book on the subject is:

On the SCOTUS issue, my hope is that there are no other vacancies prior to Warren winning in 2020.
