The reason we call it the common law is that it is "common" to everyone. The law does not change according to one's status, or at least this is usually, ordinarily, normally the case. Note the use of what I like to call "weasel words" in the previous sentence. Weasel words signal the existence of exceptions to a general rule. Several of the provisions of the UCC apply only to merchants or apply differently to merchants than to non-merchants. Give some examples of these provisions from the current chapter, and with what we now know about the foundations of contract law from the beginning pages of Chapter 7, can you explain why the UCC makes this distinction? Your response should be between 150 and 300 words.
