A quick definition of age of majority:

The age of majority is when a person becomes an adult in the eyes of the law. This means they have all the rights and responsibilities of an adult, like voting, joining the military, and signing contracts. Parents are no longer responsible for them after this age. The age of majority is usually 18, but it can be different in some places. It's important to know that the age of majority is not the same as other ages, like the drinking age or the age of consent.

A more thorough explanation:

The age of majority is the age at which a person is legally considered an adult. This means that they have all the rights and responsibilities of an adult, such as the right to vote, join the military, and sign contracts. They are also fully responsible for their own actions and obligations, and their parents are no longer legally required to support them.

The age of majority varies from country to country, but in most places it is 18. However, there are some exceptions. For example, in Alabama and Nebraska, the age of majority is 19, and in Mississippi it is 21.

It's important to note that the age of majority is not the same as other age limits, such as the drinking age or the age of sexual consent. These limits vary from state to state and country to country.

For example, in the United States, most states have set the age of majority at 18. This means that when a person turns 18, they are legally considered an adult and can do things like vote and sign contracts. However, they may not be able to drink alcohol until they are 21, depending on the state they live in.
