has abstract	El "Plan para establecer uniformidad en las monedas, pesos y medidas de los Estados Unidos" fue un informe enviado a la Cámara de Representantes, el 13 de julio de 1790, por el Secretario de Estado de los Estados Unidos Thomas Jefferson. En el , que se reunió en 1789 cuando el sistema métrico decimal aún no se había desarrollado en Francia, el sistema de unidades que se utilizaría en los Estados Unidos fue un punto de discusión. Según la Constitución (artículo I, sección 8), el Congreso tiene el derecho constitucional de decidir sobre un estándar de pesos y medidas. El 2 de enero de 1790, George Washington instó al Congreso a abordar la necesidad del sistema uniforme de pesos y medidas, y el 15 de enero de 1790, la Cámara de Representantes solicitó a Thomas Jefferson que elaborara un plan. El dólar decimal ya se había acordado en principio en 1785, pero no se implementaría hasta después de la aprobación de la en 1792. Después de la correspondencia con y otros, Jefferson propuso dos sistemas de unidades a mediados de 1790. El primero fue evolutivo y se basó en el refinamiento de las definiciones de las unidades del sistema inglés existente, así como en la simplificación de su relación entre sí. El segundo sistema fue revolucionario, y se basó en unidades unidas por potencias de diez, muy similar al sistema métrico decimal que se propondría en Francia. Las unidades base de longitud, masa y volumen en el sistema revolucionario de Jefferson (llamado pie, onza y fanega, respectivamente) eran relativamente similares en tamaño a sus contrapartes preexistentes y llevaban nombres idénticos, aunque la forma en que lo hacían se definieron fue muy diferente. La propuesta de Jefferson fue el primer sistema decimal de pesos y medidas totalmente integrado y con base científica del mundo.

At the First United States Congress, which met in 1789 when the decimal metric system had not yet been developed in France, the system of units to be used in the U.S. was one point of discussion. Under the Constitution (article I, section 8), the Congress has the constitutional right to decide on a standard of weights and measures. On January 8, 1790, George Washington urged Congress to address the need for the uniform system of weights and measures, and on January 15, 1790, the House of Representatives requested Thomas Jefferson to draw up a plan. The decimal dollar had already been agreed upon in principle in 1785, but would not be implemented until after the enactment of the Coinage Act of 1792. After correspondence with William Waring and others, Jefferson proposed two systems of units in mid-1790. The first was evolutionary, and was based on refinement of the definitions of the units of the existing English system, as well as simplification of their relationship to each other. The second system was revolutionary, and was based on units linked by powers of ten, very similar to the decimal metric system which would be proposed in France. The base units for length, mass, and volume in Jefferson's revolutionary system (named the foot, the ounce, and the bushel, respectively) were relatively close in size to their pre-existing counterparts and bore identical names, although the manner in which they were defined was very different. Jefferson's proposal was the world's first scientifically based, fully integrated, decimal system of weights and measures. (en)
