The statement is a misconception. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is not a federal law and does not uniformly govern all commercial transactions throughout the United States. It is a comprehensive set of model statutes that states can adopt, and most have done so with variations. For example, Louisiana has not adopted all articles of the UCC. Furthermore, the UCC's scope is specific; it primarily governs transactions in goods (Article 2), negotiable instruments (Article 3), and secured transactions (Article 9), but it does not cover all commercial areas, such as real estate, services, or employment contracts.

B. Reality: This is incorrect because the UCC is not a single, uniform federal law, and its application varies by state and transaction type.

C. Hypothesis: This is incorrect. The UCC is an established and enacted body of state laws, not a theoretical proposition or a guess.

D. Practice: This is incorrect. While applying the UCC is a legal practice, the statement itself is a fundamental misunderstanding of the UCC's nature and authority.

1. National Contract Management Association (NCMA). Contract Management Body of Knowledge (CMBOK), 6th ed., 2019, Section 1.3.2, "Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)." This section explains that the UCC is a model code, not a federal law, which individual states must enact. It clarifies that while it promotes uniformity, variations exist among the states.

2. Cornell Law School, Legal Information Institute (LII). "Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)." LII, an academic resource, states, "Because the UCC is a model code, it does not have legal effect in a jurisdiction unless UCC provisions are enacted by the individual state legislatures as statutes... Nearly every state has adopted the UCC in whole or in part." This confirms its non-uniform, state-level nature.

3. U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration. "The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)." The documentation clarifies the UCC's scope: "The UCC does not apply to contracts for services, employment, or real estate." This directly refutes the claim that it governs "all commercial transactions."
