Official USCIS answers
- Required by law
- Civic duty
- Makes the draft fair, if needed
Why this is the answer
The law requires men ages 18 through 25 living in the U.S. to register with Selective Service. This gives the government a list of names in case Congress ever needs a draft. Registering is also seen as a civic duty.
💡 Memory tip: Men 18–25: register = law + duty + fair draft.
