How Congress Can Foster a Digital Single Market in America

Technology has transformed virtually every aspect of American life since the country’s founding over two centuries ago. The authors of the Constitution never could have imagined many of the conveniences of the 21st century.

Instead of walking or riding to the local store to buy goods, Americans can shop from the comfort of their own home and have those items delivered to their doorstep from anywhere in the world. Instead of printing pamphlets and distributing them by hand or writing articles for the local papers, Americans can share their thoughts and opinions instantaneously across borders to anyone with an Internet connection. And instead of meeting and demonstrating in town squares, Americans can engage in political activism and organization on social media.
