What has the US Supreme Court ruled is the youngest age at which a person can be executed?

In Roper v. Simmons, 543 US 551 (2005), the US Supreme Court held that it is unconstitutional to execute juvenile offenders, effectively raising the minimum age for capital punishment to 18. Roper overruled an earlier Court decision, Stanford v. Kentucky, 492 US 361 (1989), that determined execution was permissible for juveniles 16 years and older. The Stanford decision overturned 25 State laws that allowed execution of individuals younger than age 16.For more information on Roper v. Simmons, see Related Questions, below.
