The Uniform Commercial Code refers to a set of regulations that govern all business transactions in the United States. It was initially published in the year 1952 and is used to harmonize the laws that govern transactions in the 50 states. The aim of harmonizing state law is important since there has been a prevalence in the number of commercial transactions that extend beyond a single state. The UCC therefore attained the goal of substantial uniformity in the US’s commercial laws and nonetheless granted the states the flexibility to meet local circumstances by making modifications on UCC’s text as an enactment of every state. Movable property i.e. personal property are what the Uniform Commercial Code deals with primarily.

Born in Alexandria, Egypt ca. 90 AD while under the control of the Roman Empire, Claudius Ptolemy became one of the most influential natural philosophers during his time. His findings in the fields of astronomy, astrology, geography, and mathematics set the foundations for further discoveries in cosmology later on during medieval times in Europe and the Islamic world. Ptolemy was the author of several scientific works, including one of his most significant books: the Almagest, which contains his astronomy studies. Ptolemy was able to learn from the scientific works written by the likes of Aristotle and his predecessors and apply a new method to collect data to unveil ground breaking discoveries such as the geocentric model of

Justinian was an incredibly ambitious ruler, having plans to restore the Roman Empire, and although this plan was only partially realized, his achievements were still many. Most well known for his expansion in the west, his code of law, and the rebuilding of Constantinople, including Hagia Sophia, Justinian’s attainments brought the Byzantine Empire to its height. Arguably his most important contribution was the Corpus Iuiris Civilis, because it provided the foundation for the legal systems of most Western countries. Despite these deeds, I would argue that while Justinian may have earned his title, his accomplishments were not necessarily inimitable. When compared with another ‘great’ in the textbook, Darius I, there are many similarities,
