	Selective Service System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Selective Service System is the means by which the United States administers military conscription.
		The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 was passed by the Congress of the United States on September 16, 1940, becoming the first peacetime conscription in United States history.
		Although the Selective Service System is authorized by the Selective Service Act, some argue the constitutionality of the act, claiming the law violates the Thirteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by providing for military conscription.

	Selective Service Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This Selective Service Act required that men between the ages 21 and 30 register with local draft boards.
		A new selective service act was passed in 1948 that required all men between 18 and 26 register and that made men from 19 to 26 liable for induction for 21 months' service, which would be followed by 5 years of reserve duty.
		Though the United States halted conscription in 1973, the Selective Service remains as a means to register American males upon reaching the age of 18 as a contingency should the measure be reintroduced.
