Question

Suppose that the federal government passes a new law requiring all people to register for the draft as soon as they turn eighteen. Can a state pass a law that says that only males in that state have to register for the draft? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Almost all men age 18-25 who are U.S. citizens or are immigrants living in the U.S. are required to be registered with Selective Service. U.S. law calls for citizens to register within 30 days of turning 18 and immigrants to register within 30 days of arriving in the U.S.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, you are still required to register with Selective Service. Virtually all men must register with Selective Service, even those who believe they'll be exempt from serving. In the event of a draft, men called for induction would be able to make a claim for deferments, postponements, or exemption from serving.

While there is no draft currently in effect, men who are not classified as unfit for military service, disabled men, clergymen, and men who believe themselves to be conscientiously opposed to war must also register.
