Currently across the country our youth are confused when they are supposed to be considered an adult because our laws are vague, conflicting and archaic. There are 50 states and over 3,000 counties with many different laws using ages from 13 to 26 years old to define when someone is considered an adult. For example; you can drop out of high school at 16, you can obtain your driver's license at 17, you can fight and die for this country at 18 and be in pornography at 18 however you can't buy a beer, gun or a cigarette until you're 21.

Parents are confused when their parental responsibilities end and the government confuses everyone with the inconsistency and contradiction of the laws they make. Doctors say the body continues to grow and develop until the age of 20 years old. Brain Surgeons and Scientist say that a persons prefrontal cortex of their brain which handles executive decisions, doesn't fully mature until at least the age of 20 years old and they call it "Neuromaturation".  

Now in the new millennium we need to follow the science and our laws need to change as they intersect science and common sense. We have evolved from an agrarian society into an intellectually and technology based nation.  

Our laws need to evolve too!

Please support the "Age-Of-Majority Act" by signing this petition. 

All citizens of the United States on their 20th birthday will have ascended to the "Age-of-Majority" or the age someone is considered an adult and emancipated under federal law.  This law bestows everyone with the rights of the majority and these rights shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state based on age.

Everyone under 20 years old will now be considered a minor under their parents or guardians responsibilities.
