The Selective Service Act, passed in 1917 during World War I, authorized the U.S. federal government to draft men into military service. It required men ages 21 to 30 to register for the draft, aiming to raise an army to support the war effort. The act was a key component of mobilizing U.S. forces for participation in the conflict.
