Rights and Privileges of 18 -year-olds

[melodee]

I am compiling a list of the rights and privileges of 18 year olds. Is there a resource or method of research that can help me? Is there a lot of variance state by state?

Thank you.

My response:

In the absence of State law to the contrary, once you're 18 years old, you're an adult - - with the same rights and responsibilities as an 87 year old.

The only exceptions that come to mind are the age to legally drink alcohol and to gamble. You must be 21 years of age. Those are two exceptions, applied in all States, to the Federal law.
