I think it could be a very interesting topic. For instance just doing quick research I found the age of 21 orginally came from old English Law where you became an adult at 21, then FDR lowered it because of the draft age lowering from 21 to 18.

Perhaps WWII is why we commonly consider 18 as the age of consent now.
