Which statement explains how communication technology has changed the presidents relationship with the national constituency?

It's almost too much communication....

Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution establishes the president as Chief Legislator.  The president has the power to shape policy and influence which bills Congress attempts to pass.

Advances in communication technology have changed the president’s relationship both with other branches and with the people.  The president is now more powerful in creating and shaping legislation.

How technology has changed presidential communication
Technology allows presidents to go directly to the people.  FDR did fireside chats on the radio to reassure people about the economy.  Think of how powerful his radio broadcast after Pearl Harbor was bombed.  "Today is a day that will live in infamy..." are words that will be heard for many generations to come.

Today Presidents can take over all major tv stations in times of emergencies.  Annually, the POTUS addresses the nation with the State of the Union, a Constitutionally required speech that gives the president a change to outline major concerns, possible policy directives, and reflect on the economy.  The State of the Union and other publicized appearances on television and social media allow the president to have a "bully pulpit".  The president garners more attention than members of Congress and he can utilize that influence to push Congress to work on his goals and convince the electorate to support his agenda.

 Starting in the mid 2000s, social media because increasing important.  Obama used social media to recruit and energize many portions of the electorate that had felt disenfranchised.  Later Trump used social media, particularly twitter to directly vent and promise policy, often at odds with what his administration officials were communicating.
