Actually you don't even use British Imperial measurements. These are defined in the Weights and Measures Act of 1824. No, the US uses Winchester measures, which date back to Henry VII - 1495. This is why your pint is the wrong size. Your foot, inch and acre comes from the statute of Ells and Perches. This statute was passed sometime between 1266 and 1303.
As with your constitution, you need to update your weights and measures.
