Question: What does the author mean by stating, ”because of their immaturity and skewed judgment, we limit children's rights to vote, to drink alcohol, to join the armed forces, to marry and to enter into contracts...”?
Answer: This phrase reads confusing upon stating the limits of Children’s rights. There are no references that offers the reader more detail to describe a specific age range, ethnicity of origin, tradition and time period. If I were to suppose that the author refers to a child of present from birth to the age of eighteen residing in the United States, then simple science suggests children are not physically & emotionally grown, adequately educated, formally socialized or permitted by law to make such informed decisions with regards to these adult privileges in today’s society. On the other hand, neither are adults over the age of eighteen. This does not mean children cannot have advanced maturity through life experiences although these rights remain unlawful.

Explanation:
I have been able to rewrite the sentences in the Simple Past Tense adding the expressions in the brackets.
The simple past tense is known to be a verb tense which talks about actions or activities that took place or existed before now.
Such tenses are used to describe and explain the events that took place in the past. In English, regular verbs actually form the simple past tense "-ed" while other irregular verbs can take different forms.
Despite adding the expressions in the brackets while rewriting the sentences, the simple past tense is still retained.
B. chicken and dumplings
It's because the 'chicken and dumplings' is renaming the noun 'meal' that is already there. Usually to find an appositive phrase, just look beside the noun and see if the sentence works without the words beside it.
