the congress can fix standards for weights
In the United States, Congress has the constitutional right to fix standards, but except for purposes of customs and internal revenue, weights and measures legislation has been, for the most part, permissive. Sets of official weights and measures were sent to the states in 1856, but legislation and enforcement are largely state prerogatives.
One of the most important functions of Congress is in facilitating trade among the States and between the United States and foreign countries. The intent of the so-called commerce clause was to compel Congress to only lower barriers to trade, in the attempt to achieve a no-restrictions free market among the States. One way Congress can facilitate trade is by setting and maintaining a set of national weights and measures.
