Appealing to majority is a bad way to make an argument. The age of consent in America shouldn't be 16 because it is in other countries, like my own, the UK, but because in its own right a human of age 16 is mature enough to make their own decisions about this.

For the record, each US state sets the age of consent. 16 is the age in many states
