Who decided that age of majority in Canada and America is 18? How can the requirements for whom is an adult be changed?
Who has the authority to make these decisions? Also how detailed can one be in making decisions, like for example making specific requirements for adulthood? I thought that 200 years ago you had to be 25 male and a land owner to vote…then that evolved to what we have now. What would be the next evolution and how could it happen?
