Driver licenses can be issued to people at different ages depending on the state laws. This coincides with the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The National Government has given states the right to decide what age licenses shall be issued. In Illinois, the minimum age for receiving a license is 16 years of age; however, the state is debating whether or not they are moving the age to 18.
The Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
I don't think making driving laws nationally respected is a problem. I think that the Nation should rise the age to 18 due to teenage car accidents. The National Government has given that decision to each state. This is an example of federalism.
