In Mississippi, the age of majority is set at 21 due to historical legislative decisions that aimed to align various legal rights and responsibilities with that age. This age was established before the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18, reflecting societal views on maturity and responsibility at the time. Although many states have since adopted 18 as the age of majority, Mississippi has retained its higher age for certain legal purposes, such as contracts and property ownership. This distinction is part of the state's legal framework and cultural context.
