What is the purpose of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)?

  1. Facilitate Negotiations

  2. Ensure Fairness in Trade

  3. Establish Legal Standard

  4. Promote Competition

The correct answer is: Establish Legal Standard

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a set of standardized laws and regulations that govern commercial transactions across the United States. Its purpose is to establish a legal standard for commercial practices, making it easier for businesses in different states to engage in trade with each other. Option A is incorrect because the UCC does not facilitate negotiations, it provides a framework for businesses to conduct negotiations within. Option B is incorrect because the UCC does not specifically focus on ensuring fairness, but rather sets a standard for all parties to follow. Option D is incorrect because while the UCC does promote competition in the market, it is not its primary purpose.
