(a) Where does it specify the slave population in Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3? Here is the text for you:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three

(b) How is the above clause "limiting" in regards to slaves? It appears to be inclusive, not limiting, if anything.

                              None of those specify slaves. - ummmm MU - 4/18 09:50:02
                                   It only counts "Free Persons" and then defines what is - Spanky KU - 4/18 09:53:50
                                        It doesn't define slave at all (nm) - pickle MU - 4/18 10:22:51
                                             It defines what is 'not free' - Spanky KU - 4/18 10:25:42

                                                            You forgot the word "Importation" which is highly indicative - ummmm MU - 4/18 11:29:39
                                                                 The ambiguity is removed by looking at other clauses - Spanky KU - 4/18 11:42:07
                                                                      This post further proves it is ambiguous. (nm) - ummmm MU - 4/18 12:17:18
