Ther is no definition for the age 21 in the constitution.There is no such thing as the young people, or the older people. It is not morale or productive to blur the line. When will we as Americans who crave a fair and just democracy understand that there is no groups within the people because the people, 18 to 100, must be one. We can never allow the people to be seperated into characteristics. Manipulating the definition of the people threatens democracy because people will forget to at some point where to draw the line for the sake of preventing oppression. Blacks commit crimes, put them in jail beforehand, Women can't take care of money, take away their credit cards, younger people drink and drive, take away their rights.When you turn a man or women into a stat, you forget that under the law they are men and women just like yourself. We commit crime, we mismanage money, we drink and drive. A society where a man can be punished in anticipation of a crime is neither fair nor just.
