I do not understand the reasoning behind this organization. If the point is to get uniformity among the states, isn't that what the United States Congress is for? I mean, certainly the whole states rights versus federal rights thing comes in, but if a matter is truely meant to be a uniform law, then why doesn't this organization lobby the US House or Senate to pass these bills? └Jared┘┌t┐ 22:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Because, as you hint, many areas of law are subject to individual control by the states (although these areas are rapidly dwindling). Take a look at Federalism in the United States. Uniform laws are still helpful; the most well-known and widespread example being the Uniform Commercial Code TjoeC (talk) 22:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
