Redirected from Uniform act
The existence of uniform acts results in large part from the nature of the American federal system. The United States Federal government does not have general power to legislate many issues leaving many powers to state governments. At the same time, there is a desire to have consistent laws across the states.
Some legal scholars have argued that the existence and codification of Uniform acts, most notably the Uniform Commercial Code has given American law less of a common law flavor and made it more similar to civil law.
