Passage 1
"Big data" is becoming a buzz word of the 21st century. Technically, big data refers to a data set that is too large to analyze. Colloquially, big data refers to the ever-increasing amount of personal information that is collected by computers. Computers monitor and record our online habits, what we buy at the grocery store, our medical and educational records, and even our location. This glut of information has many screaming about privacy concerns. However, sensible protections can be put into place that will unlock the power of big data and positively transform our economy, science, and society.

Passage 2
The casual acceptance of the collection of personal data is one of the most troubling trends of the information age. Proponents of big data argue that the benefits outweigh the potential risks, and that proper regulation of the use of data can adequately control the dangers. However, it is very unlikely that we will be able to identify the right ways to regulate the use of data and to persuade the global community to agree on these regulations. Even if we could, what group or agency has the power to monitor the entirety of the Internet? It is far wiser to take immediate steps to limit the collection of personal data now.

The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world.

If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind.

The new Constitution would be important to the entire world. The Constitutional Convention was ignored by governments all over the world.
