Rights & Responsibilities of Citizens LITERACY · 8TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Citizenship carries both protections and obligations. Rights include free speech, freedom of religion and assembly, due process, equal protection of the laws, and the vote at eighteen. Responsibilities divide into legal duties and civic ones: obeying the law, paying taxes, serving on a jury when called, and registering for selective service are required, while voting, staying informed, volunteering, and respecting others' rights are expected but not enforced. The two are linked, because a jury trial only works if people serve, and free elections only work if people vote and accept results. Non-citizens living lawfully in the country hold most constitutional rights, including due process and free speech, but not the vote or jury service. Questions: 1 What is the difference between a legal duty and a civic responsibili… 2 Give an example of a right that depends on others meeting a responsi… 3 Which rights do lawful non-citizens hold? www.littleactivity.com 8th Grade · Literacy
