美国是电脑和网络技术的发源地,也是发达国家之一;同时,美国是法治发展、富于法律思维的国家。然而,对于互联网和电子商务而言,美国并没有像新英格兰最早的移民那样,先在船上签好五月花公约,后上岸组织社会。而是先任其发展,后逐渐加以规范。到目前为止,美国还没有一部全面调整互联网和电子商务的立法。 The United States is the birthplace of computers and Internet technologies and one of the developed countries. At the same time, the United States is a country that enjoys the rule of law and enjoys legal thinking. However, for the Internet and e-commerce, the United States did not sign the Mayflower convention on the ship and, like the earliest immigrants in New England, went ashore to organize the society. Instead, they should be appointed first and then gradually be standardized. So far, the United States does not have a comprehensive legislation to regulate the Internet and e-commerce.
