Your proposal certainly makes sense, but it is not what they wrote.

The original intent was representation of US citizens. The 3/5 rule was a compromise with southern states in order to avoid onerous taxation). This was amended out with the 2nd section of the 14th Amendment (and thus why I mentioned it instead of trying an arguement of original-intent-despite-3/5).
