Common law, children (infant) law People who are under the age of legal majority in Common Law, 21 years, now generally 18 years, According to the sense in which this term is used, it may denote the age of the people, the contractual disabilities that non-age entails, or his or her status with regards too other powers or relations, Modern laws respecting the rights, obligations, and incapacities of children are rooted in ancient customs and practices, In 1765, Sir William Blackstone, in his Commentaries on the Laws of England, wrote that parents owe their children three duties, maintenance, protection, and education, Today these three duties continue, and have been expanded by judicial, and legislative advancements, The notion of children's rights has evolved into a highly controversial and dynamic area of law, Common law held an infant, also called a minor or child, to be a person less than 21 years old Currently, most state statutes define the age of majority to be 18, Although people must attain the age of majority to vote, make a will, or hold public office, children are increasingly being recognized by society, legislatures, and the courts as requiring greater protections and deserving greater rights than they were afforded under common lore of the time, The law is caught in a tugof-war between two equally compelling and worthy societal interests, the desire to protect children from harmful situations and from their own immaturity and lack of experience, and the desire to give children as much autonomy as they can bear as soon as they can bear it. Legal Rights of Children Children do have the right to own, and acquire property by sale, gift, or inheritance, Often property is given to a child as a beneficiary of a trust, In the trust situation, a trustee manages the trust assets for the child until the child reaches majority, or like otherwise meets the requirements specified in the trust for managing the property for herself, or himself, Children also have the right to enter into contracts, cause the law seeks to protect children from adverse consequences due to their lack of knowledge, experience, and maturity, an adult who enters into a contract with a child may be unable to enforce the contract against the child, whereas the child can enforce the contract against the adult if the adult breaches it, However when a child enters into a contract for necessities ( food, shelter, clothing, and medical attention), or with a bank, the child is legally bound and cannot later disaffirm or negate the contract, and the child of emancipation is majority of knowledge,

Doctrine of Sovereign How to classify one's self as a individual. 1. Know one's own mind as a whole or a part. 2. Compare too others mind as a whole or a part. 3. If neither minds compare as a whole but as a part then there are similar thoughts. 4. Similar thoughts are only equal likes. 5. Similar likes don't make similar actions only similar knowledge. 6. To be one's equal they must have equal knowledge, equal action of knowledge, an equal execution of action of the knowledge or one must insert them self as a individual, cause." We as individuals seek comfort in others too share our knowledge by comparison of ideals an action but we invoked them as a individual action an individual ideal". 7. Common or community are individual thoughts an actions brought together by comparison not by equal. So one is a individual always, but a common or community is equal thoughts but not equal action. So we may be part of a equal common or community by thought of knowledge, but it would be prudent to be equal in a action of knowledge. Individual represents knowledge an action of knowledge an neither can be a whole on the basis of individual knowledge gained. 8. If neither beliefs of action of knowledge or neither beliefs of knowledge are to be equal then one must be acknowledged as an individual believer of knowledge an a individual believer of action of knowledge. 9. Therefore one's an individual until acknowledgement of equal by one's self comparison. 10. Equal by comparison is said parties acknowledgement of equal by comparison only by way of individual acknowledgement of compared knowledge an compared action of knowledge only, but always have the inherent right to not be in comparison of knowledge or action of knowledge. NOTE: one can not be in comparison under action alone nor knowledge alone nor can be action of said knowledge be a comparison of equal but equal by comparison of set forth an only set forth will be a equal of comparison set forth by individual parties. Henceforth individual an individual always. Finally: Too be duely noted that this is why we enter into a contract on all matters regardless of the type or types of contracts. Individual thoughts to be true Sincerely, whitefeather ( YA TA HAY ).
