The Uniform Commercial Code was designed in 1942 as a joint project between the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners of Uniform State Laws, in order to integrate existing laws into one set of laws governing sales.  The basic premise on which the UCC is based is that commercial transactions are a single subject of the law, involving the sale of and payment for goods.  This learning module presents a brief guide to the UCC, and descriptions and explanations of Article 2: Sales, Article 6: Bulk Sales and Article 9: Secured Transactions.  After successful completion of this learning module the student should understand the history of the UCC, Article 2: Sales, Article 6: Bulk Sales, and Article 9: Secured Transactions.
