How far can the government change the age of adulthood?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) February 3rd, 2014

In Alberta the premier changed the minimum age to drop out of high school from grade 10 , 16 years old; to grade 11 or 17 years old. hypothetically how far can a government set the age of adulthood and even who is a senior citizen. In the extreme children can be adults, and adults could be seniors and everything messed up. Is their a limit to government power when they have a majority in the house of commons or provincial legislation… ?
