This note is to the editor(s) who maintain this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey

In particular, in the first sentence of the last paragraph of section 2.2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey#Revolutionary_War_era

Note: the source for this para. is same as used on this related page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_New_Jersey#cite_note-6

The only difference is that this other page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_New_Jersey uses a somewhat extended quote from the original New Jersey Constitution of 1776 -- which is accurate and higher impact. Specifically, it sets the threshold for voting at being worth fifty pounds proclamation money.

My simple suggestion, therefore -- for clarity and because it gives a richer sense of the real history -- is to use this same longer quote in the first sentence of the last paragraph of section 2.2 here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey#Revolutionary_War_era Namely: "all inhabitants of this Colony, of full age, who are worth fifty pounds proclamation money"
