Not to reinforce slavery but rather to limit the influence if it. The slave owning states wanted all the slaves to be counted.....why....more people=more representation. The 3/5 compromise was to limit the influence of those states that had huge slave populations. It did not strengthen slavery or legitimize it, it weakened it.
That was the purpose of the 3/5 compromise.
Right. It still permitted slavery which directly violates the 5th Amendment.
