Responsibilities of U.S. Citizens
Alongside rights, Americans bear responsibilities that underscore their commitment to civic duty and community engagement. These are important to upholding the values upon which the nation was founded.
Obey Laws
Once a U.S. citizen, you must obey federal, state, and local laws. You should also abide by taxation and traffic laws, respect property rights, refrain from illegal activities, and comply with court orders and legal judgments.
Serve On Juries
You will also have a responsibility to serve on juries when called upon. Jury service is a civic duty that allows you to engage directly in the administration of justice and help ensure fair trials.
Respect The Rights Of Others
Americans are expected to respect the rights and freedoms of others, including their fellow citizens and residents of the United States. As a civilized individual, you must respect individual rights such as freedom of speech and the right to due process of law.
Participate In Civic Engagement
Civic engagement compels citizens to participate actively in their communities and society. This includes volunteering, participating in community organizations, attending public meetings, and advocating for social and political change.
Just like the rights granted to U.S. citizens, the responsibilities attached to citizenship cover a broad scope to maintain a progressive and dignified society. Understanding these rights and obligations can better equip you to handle the application process.
