Answer:
The Committees of Correspondence was organized by Samuel Adams.
Explanation:
The Committees of Correspondence were bodies organized by the local governments of the American colonies in order to coordinate the written communications between the colonies during the War of Independence.
Given that the American leaders saw more and more possible a conspiracy of the British Empire to deprive them of their freedoms, they decided to install communication networks between the colonies. From 1773 the colonial assemblies began to appoint correspondence committees to warn each other of possible British abuses. In some colonies, such as Massachusetts, local communities also adopted these committees, always with the intention of being on alert against arbitrary actions by British officers.
The first Committee of Correspondence was organized by Samuel Adams in Boston in 1772.

The adoption of the metric systemis a discussion that starts around the late 19th century, as it became necessary to have a standarized measuring system around the globe. In fact, in 1875, United States signed the <em>Treaty of the Meter, </em>an international treaty signed by other 16 countries in which thet accepted the commitment of adopting the metric system, originated in France, creating the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. Since then, all the American customary measurements such as pund, quart and foot among others have been converted to the metric system.
In 1960, the metric system was updated and countries such as the United Kingdom, started a transition to the metric system, and in 1968 there was a comission in United States,responsible for researching on the implementation of this system, which was concluded after 3 years with a report called "<em>A Metric America: A Decesion Whose Time Has Come" . </em>The result of this,was the awareness of the need to make official the metric system, and so the Metric Conversion Act was passed in 1975.
According to this Act,the public education system would be responsible for teaching the use of the metric system, which afterwards, was not really developed.
Robert might say, that due to the commercial leadership of the United States, there was not a real need to use the metric system,as other countries would actually understand and use it, and so there wasn´t a real practical obligation to oficially convert into the metric system, that´s why this discussion was and not actually important during the following years.
