In 1760s, the Woodbridge Township press governed the printing of colonial currency for the crown colony of New Jersey. The Province of New Jersey issued paper money depicting the unit of account for colonial currency reciprocal of the Carolingian monetary system. In 1751, the British Parliament imposed regulatory law by enacting the Paper Bills of Credit Act. The parliamentary rules served as a currency reform for capital exchange and public banks established in British America. ==Parliamentary Taxation and Thirteen Colonies==

In January of 1766, the Parliament of the United Kingdom assembled the Committee of the Whole House to examine the consequences of parliamentary taxation and repugnance by the British America's colonies regarding the Stamp Act 1765 and Declaratory Act 1766. During March 1766, Benjamin Franklin writes correspondence to Joseph Fox which allegedly is the first disclosure of the Declaratory Act (6 Geo. III, c. 12) in the English colonies. Benjamin Franklin served as a colonial agent for the Pennsylvania Assembly and London associate as a Fellow of the Royal Society. Franklin represented the British North America interest and colonial governance in London from 1757 to 1775. In 1766, Franklin conveyed a consensus concerning the Stamp Act Congress deliberations in regards to the taxation ― Molasses Act and Sugar Act ― imposed on the British America colonies. The parliamentary chamber convened at the Palace of Westminster conducting a redress which became known as the Examination before the Committee of the Whole of the House of Commons disclosed February 13, 1766. The Woodbridge Township press published pamphlets disseminated throughout the British America colonies with publications appearing in English language and foreign translations in Europe. ==See also==
