Duties of citizens such as paying taxes and serving on a jury are called what?

• A. Responsibilities
• B. Rights
• C. Duties
• D. Privileges

Answer: (A)

These are duties, which are actions citizens are required to perform by law to support the government and the legal system. Paying taxes funds public services, and serving on a jury ensures fair trials. Rights are freedoms you have, such as free speech or voting, while privileges are benefits you may receive but aren’t guaranteed. Responsibilities are things people should do as good citizens, like staying informed or helping others, but they aren’t legally required. So the best term for these examples is duties (legal obligations).
