Selective Service Act
The Selective Service Act set up the Selective Service System, the first peacetime conscription in United States history. The Act passed the U.S. Congress on May 18, 1917 and gave the President the power to draft soldiers. The Selective Service Act required that men between the ages 21 and 30 register with local draft boards. (The age range was later changed to 18-45.)
