    That’s not how learning works. A graduated system allows people to gradually take on responsibility. Going from a total child to full adult is too much of a shock. It’s bad enough as is, with kids having a hard time “adulting.”

      If there were to be a graduated system then voting would be the very last thing to bequeath. Deciding the fate of a nation carries far more responsibility than anything else I described.

        I mean… that’s basically how it is now, excluding drinking. I’d rather they learn to vote before legally drinking.

          Voting comes first right now. If there were to be a graduated system then voting should be the very last thing to bequeath. Deciding the fate of a nation carries far more responsibility than drinking. Best they learn to handle their liquor before deciding whether the nation should go to war.
