{'law commission': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'lord macaulay': [3, 0, 0, 0], 'laws': [8, 0, 6, 31], 'courts': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'uniform system': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1, which states that the Law Commission headed by Lord Macaulay attempted to codify the laws. Codification refers to the process of systematically arranging and organizing the laws of a country into a coherent and comprehensive code. Lord Macaulay, as the head of the Law Commission, played a significant role in drafting and implementing various codification projects in India during the 19th century.

Option 2 states that the Law Commission was opposed to a uniform system of Courts. However, this statement is incorrect. Lord Macaulay and the Law Commission advocated for the establishment of a uniform system of Courts in India. They believed that a uniform system would help in achieving equity, consistency, and efficiency in the administration of justice across the country.

Therefore, option 2 is incorrect. The correct answer is option 1 only.
