Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context (see options)? 

Context:

Well, of course, the original statute was replacing a bunch of State statutes or State rules, partly common law, partly statutory, that -- they had kind of a mixed up legal situation, and there was an interest in having one uniform rule for the first time around.

Hypothesis: one uniform rule wasn't interesting to them for the first time around.
