 OECD Observer: E-commerce and trade: resolving dilemmas
Trade lies at the heart of these transformations, both of goods (e.g., computers) and services (e.g., telecommunications services), with liberalisation playing its part by making technology cheaper and more widely accessible.
There are currently few barriers to trade conducted via e-commerce over the Internet itself, partly for reasons of technological difficulty: it is harder to prevent a consumer from connecting to an online bookseller and downloading a book than it is to stop a physical book crossing a border.
A primary aim of trade policy has thus been not so much to remove existing barriers but to prevent their emergence in future.

 Our Trade and Commerce
It is because Chicago has possessed remarkable advantages for the development of trade and commerce, that the remarkable results, now matters of history, have been attained.
Any review of the Trade and Commerce of Chicago, however hasty and imperfect, would be essentially incomplete without some reference to the basis of that trade, and the reasons that may be adduced for its rapid growth and development.
The early history of the Trade and Commerce of Chicago appears to have differed but little from that of most other Western settlements, consisting at first of a small Indian traffic, but gradually growing in proportions as civilization began to advance into the then almost trackless prairie.

The trade and commerce clause was first examined in Citizen's Insurance Co. v.
The inquiry must consider whether the law was part of a regulatory scheme, whether there was an agency to oversee the scheme, whether the matter concerned trade as a whole, whether the provinces could have been incapable of enacting such a scheme, and whether the failure of a province to participate would jeopardize the scheme.

If e-commerce is defined as trade in services, then the rules of the General Agreement on Trade in Services apply, and countries only have to lower tariffs when they elect to liberalize their e-commerce sector.[4]

 Australian referendum, 1913 (Trade and Commerce) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trade and commerce are national matters and state laws are not adequate.
This will mean that the centralised government will dominate all trade and commerce, including that which is carried on within state borders.
However, although many at the time felt strongly about the need for the Commonwealth to have limited control over commerce between the states, the High Court eventually gave much of the power to Commonwealth indirectly through later decisions, thus effectively removing the need for the Constitution to be changed anyway.
