It was a mistake to lower majority from 21.
>It was a mistake to lower majority from 21.
I don’t think so; 18 year olds are perfectly capable, and IMO culpable for their actions.
I think what was/is a mistake is keeping so many age-groupings:
16 for driving,
17 for enlistment,
18 for tobacco,
21 for alcohol,
etc.
Legally-speaking if something is to be divided/differentiated based on age it should very likely be on majority/minority; the restrictions on ages of political positions s for EXACTLY the reason [immaturity] that it seems you are citing.
