Title: Compare the legal rights and responsibilities of minors and adults.
Course: Business Law (12054-36) > Section: Examining the Foundations of a Legal System

Comparison should

- identify the age of majority (noting that it varies from state to state)
- include examples of rights afforded to adults but not extended to minors (e.g., right to a trial, right to post bail, possession of alcohol and tobacco products, cell phone usage while driving, ability to disaffirm contracts, privacy of court records).

A brief historical perspective of the juvenile justice system's evolution may also be included.
