<P> American forces under Washington met the forces under General Henry Clinton at the Battle of Monmouth in an indecisive engagement in June 1778 . Washington attempted to take the British column by surprise; when the British army attempted to flank the Americans, the Americans retreated in disorder . The ranks were later reorganized and withstood the British charges . </P> <P> In the summer of 1783, the Continental Congress met in Nassau Hall at Princeton University, making Princeton the nation's capital for four months . It was there that the Continental Congress learned of the signing of the Treaty of Paris (1783), which ended the war . </P> <P> On December 18, 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the United States Constitution, which was overwhelmingly popular in New Jersey, as it prevented New York and Pennsylvania from charging tariffs on goods imported from Europe . On November 20, 1789, the state became the first in the newly formed Union to ratify the Bill of Rights . </P> <P> The 1776 New Jersey State Constitution gave the vote to "all inhabitants" who had a certain level of wealth . This included women and blacks, but not married women, because they could not own property separately from their husbands . Both sides, in several elections, claimed that the other side had had unqualified women vote and mocked them for use of "petticoat electors", whether entitled to vote or not; on the other hand, both parties passed Voting Rights Acts . In 1807, the legislature passed a bill interpreting the constitution to mean universal white male suffrage, excluding paupers; the constitution was itself an act of the legislature and not enshrined as the modern constitution . </P>
