Should young people have the same due process rights as an adult?
JustaSimpleQuestion
Obviously yes. All people are equal under the law. This means everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
In the same spirit people under the age of 18 should be free to pursue opportunities that will keep them out of trouble with the law. They should be free to get married, to learn a trade to qualify for a high enough paying job so they don't have to sell illegal drugs to pay their rent, to drive, to see a movie of their choice, to pursue life, liberty, and happiness as guaranteed them under the constitution of this country.
AnswerFrankly, as we currently consider minors to be essentially property of their parents, and as such, have considerably restricted normal rights, I would say that minors should have more due process rights than an adult. Remember, due process is about the methods for restricting a person's rights (due to committing a crime, in most cases). For minors, which are considered to have fewer rights and be less competent than an adult, we should thus afford them more due process, since taking away their more limited rights is more harmful, and also because since we consider them to have less informed judgment, we should be more careful about our judgment of them.
