The measurements for length, weight, and volume were all over the place! This made it difficult to do any kind of trade. In 1866, President Andrew Johnson signed the Metric Act which called for the creation of a standard set of measurements. This set of measurements was called the metric system. The metric system was developed in France in the 18th century. It is based on the concept of an object's volume and weight being proportional to its size. The metric system uses base units of millimeters, meters, and kilograms. The metric system is used in many countries around the world.
