The Duties andResponsibilitiesof CitizenshipSECTIONGUIDE TO READINGMain IdeaThe privilege of U.S.citizenship brings with itcertain responsibilities.Some are legal, such asobeying laws and payingtaxes, and some arevoluntary, such asparticipating in thepolitical process andbeing informed.Key Termsresponsibility, duty, draft,toleranceReading StrategySummarizing InformationAs you read, on a webdiagram like the onebelow list the legalresponsibilities of U.S.citizens.Legal Responsibilitiesof U.S. CitizensRead to Learn What legal duties comewith U.S. citizenship? What voluntaryresponsibilities ofcitizenship help theUnited States fulfill itsdemocratic goals?120Chapter 5Kim Kulish/CORBIS/SABAOn September 11, 2001, terrorist acts killed thousandsof Americans. President George W. Bush led the nation during thistroubled time and in 2002 proclaimed: “. . . [A]fter America wasattacked, it was as if our entire country looked into a mirror and sawour better selves. We were reminded that weare citizens, with obligations to each other, toour country, and to history. We began to thinkless of the goods we can accumulate andmore about the good we can do. . . . In thesacrifice of soldiers, the fierce brotherhood offirefighters, and the bravery and generosityof ordinary citizens, we have glimpsed whata new culture of responsibility could looklike. We want to be a nation that servesgoals larger than self. We have beenoffered a unique opportunity, and we mustnot let this moment pass.”ProudAmericansA Citizen’s Legal DutiesWhen you think of your community, do you think of yourneighborhood or perhaps your town? Actually, each of usbelongs to many communities—our school or workplace; ourchurch, synagogue, or mosque; our state; and our country. Onthe broadest level, we are also members of the global community, more connected than ever before to people aroundthe world.We all have a stake in making our communities safe andsuccessful. Thus we all have certain responsibilities to fulfill.Responsibilities are things we should do; they are obligationsthat we fulfill voluntarily. As American citizens, we also havelegal duties that we are required to perform. Duties are thingsthat we must do.National, state, and local governments require Americansto perform certain duties established by laws. If we fail to perform them, we are subject to legal penalties, such as fines orThe Citizen and the Community

imprisonment. By accepting all of theseresponsibilities and duties, we strengthenour communities and help secure ourrights. Some countries require their citizensto perform many duties, such as serving acertain number of years in the military.Although the U.S. government asks less ofits citizens, it does require that they fulfillthe following duties.Obey LawsFollowing the law is a citizen’s mostimportant duty. Our laws are designed forspecific purposes—to help people getalong, to prevent accidents, to see thatresources are used fairly, and so on. If wedo not obey the law, then governments cannot maintain order or protect our health,safety, and property.Pay TaxesTaxes pay for the government’s activities. Without them, the federal governmentcould not pay its employees, maintainarmed forces to defend the country, andhelp those in need. Your local governmentcould not hire police officers or firefighters,and your state could not pave roads ormaintain prisons.Citizens pay taxes in several ways. Thefederal government and some states andcities collect income taxes—a percentage ofwhat people earn. Most states and somecities collect taxes on the sale of goods andservices. Most local governments collecttaxes on the residential and commercialproperty within school districts.Defend the NationIn the United States, all men aged 18through 25 are required to register with thegovernment in case the country needs todraft, or call up, men for military service.Since the end of the Vietnam War, there hasbeen no draft, and America’s military hasbeen made up of volunteers. Nevertheless,the government has the authority to use thedraft if the country should suddenly have togo to war.Serve in CourtIn criminal cases and most civil matters,the Constitution guarantees the right to atrial by jury. To ensure this, every adult citizen must be prepared to serve on a jury.People can be excused from jury duty if theyhave a good reason, but service is usuallyrewarding. People involved in court casesdepend on their fellow citizens to reach afair verdict. Another duty of citizens is toserve as witnesses at a trial if called to do so.Attend SchoolMost states require young people toattend school until age 16. This benefitsboth you and the government because youneed knowledge and skills to make wisedecisions, and our democratic system ofgovernment needs informed citizens tooperate well. In school you not only gain anunderstanding of history, government, andother important subjects, but you also learnto think through problems, form opinions,and express your views clearly.Explaining Why do we paytaxes?Nonrenewable ResourcesWhen nonrenewable resources are used up,they cannot be replaced. Some of the mostimportant industrial resources—mineral ores,petroleum, and natural gas—fall into thiscategory. Think about what your communitymight do to conserve a nonrenewable resourcesuch as oil. Then devise a plan and put yourplan into action.Chapter 5The Citizen and the Community121

Civic ResponsibilitiesSeveral responsibilities of citizenshipare voluntary obligations rather than legalduties. If you ignore these, you won’t bearrested or punished. If you fulfill them,however, you help our democracy flourishand reap personal benefits as well.Be InformedEvery day government leaders makedecisions that affect your life. The state legislature, for example, might pass a lawchanging the rate of sales tax you pay. Yourschool board might vote to start the schoolday earlier. Your town council might setaside funds for a new recreation center. AsCitizens’ Duties andResponsibilitiesRIGHTSSecurity—protection by governmentEquality—equal treatment under the lawLiberty—rights guaranteed underthe ConstitutionDUTIESObey the lawPay taxesDefend the nationServe in courtAttend schoola citizen, you have a responsibility to knowwhat the government is doing so that youcan voice your opinions on matters you feelstrongly about.To learn about issues and leaders, youcan read books, newspapers, and magazines. You can listen to the news on radioand television and talk with your teachers,family, and friends.You can also find usefulinformation on the Internet.Being informed includes knowing yourrights. For example, people accused ofcrimes have the right to be represented by alawyer. If people were unaware of that right,they might not receive fair trials.Speak Up and VoteThe Founders of our nation set up a government based upon the principle of popularsovereignty, or “consent of the governed.”People are the source of any and all governmental power; that is, government exists toserve you. You must make your concernsknown, however, if you expect public officialsto act in your interests. Call, write, or sende-mail to your elected representatives. Joina political party or a group working for aparticular cause. Above all, vote.Voting is one of a citizen’s most important rights and responsibilities. By electingpolitical leaders and voting for or againstproposed measures, Americans give theirconsent to the government. As formerPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt said,RESPONSIBILITIESBe informed and voteParticipate in your communityand governmentRespect the rights and propertyof othersRespect different opinionsand ways of lifeAmerican citizens have responsibilitiesC05-01C-825989as well as rights. Is paying taxes aduty or responsibility?“The ultimate rulers of ourdemocracy are not a president andsenators and congressmen andgovernment officials but the votersof this country.”Thoughtful voters study the candidatesand issues carefully before marking theirballots. They also regularly check on what

elected leaders are doing. If an official’s performance falls short, it is up to the voters tochoose someone else in the next election.Voting responsibly ensures that leadership ischanged in a peaceful and orderly manner.Respect Others’ RightsTo enjoy your rights to the fullest, youmust be prepared to respect other people’srights as well. For example, if you own adog, you have an obligation to keep it frombecoming a nuisance to your neighbors. Ifyou’re in the library, you should not interfere with anyone’s right to work quietly.Citizens also have a responsibility toshow respect for public property and forthe property of others. Some people mightclaim that “no one gets hurt” when they litter in a park or paint graffiti on a schoolwall, yet such public property belongs to usall, and we all pay if it is damaged.Vandalism and littering are actuallymore than disrespectful acts; they arecrimes. Indeed, many of our laws have beenenacted to encourage people to respect others’ rights. If you have a party that gets outof hand, for example, you could be arrestedfor disturbing the peace.Respect DiversityIn a democratic society like ours, withsuch a diverse population, it is especiallyimportant to respect the civil liberties of others. Although you may disagree with peopleor disapprove of their lifestyles, they have anequal right to their beliefs and practices.Respecting and accepting others, regardlessof their beliefs, practices, or differences, iscalled tolerance. Treating others politelyand respectfully is thus part of being a goodcitizen. One of America’s strengths hasalways been the diversity of its people.Immigrants have brought a variety ofreligions, traditions, and lifestyles to thiscountry, and they continue to do so. Asith six younger sisters of his own,you’d think Travis Gregory would betired of being a big brother—but he’s not.In fact, this volunteer has taken anothersibling under his wing: Ronald, an8-year-old boy Gregory met through BigBrothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri.Two times each month, Gregory getstogether with his new “little brother” fortutoring, talking, playing games, and justhanging out. The outings give Ronald precious one-on-one time with a real-life mentor.“I’ve always thought about what it wouldbe like if I didn’t have a male figure in mylife,” says Gregory. “I thought [working forBig Brothers Big Sisters] was somethingsomeone might do for me, if I needed it. I’mjust doing my little part.”When Gregory isn’t doing his part withRonald, he’s usually working on some othercommunity project. He volunteers withHabitat for Humanity, the international organization that builds homes for low-incomeindividuals, and he helped launch a middleschool mentoring program through hisschool’s community service project team.“I’m just the kind of person who likes tokeep busy,” Gregory says. “At first some ofmy friends looked at me like I was crazy.Now some of them have joined, too.” Do youthink you might like being a Big Brother orBig Sister to someone in your community?

citizens, we have a responsibility to respectthe practices and traditions of others whenthey are different from our own, just as weexpect them to respect our differences.There are no degrees of citizenship in theUnited States. All citizens are equal andentitled to be treated the same.Contribute to the Common GoodCelebrate Our Diversity As Americans wehave a responsibility to respect the practicesand traditions of others. Thai Americanscelebrate the Thai New Year during aSongkran Festival in New York City in April.What is the difference between aresponsibility and a duty?Responsible citizens care about othersas well as themselves. They are willing tocontribute time, effort, and money to helpother people and to improve communitylife for everyone.Think about what your communitywould be like if no one donated to charities,volunteered in after-school programs, orlent a hand at the local health clinic. Whatif no one ever spoke out about communityproblems? Communities and governmentsneed people to participate. All Americancitizens must be active participants and notjust idle bystanders if we want our communities to thrive.Explaining Why is votingsuch an important civic responsibility?Study Central TM To review this section, go toSECTIONTMciv.glencoe.com and click on Study Central .ASSESSMENTChecking for UnderstandingCritical ThinkingAnalyzing Visuals1.

What are the variousways in which peoplevolunteer?Without Korczak Ziolkowski, there would be no Crazy HorseMemorial. Ziolkowski, born of Polish descent in Boston, became famousas a mountain carver, but it is his life and dedication that have inspiredthe people who learn about him. Ziolkowskiassisted Gutzon Borglum at Mount Rushmoreand then dedicated the rest of his life to sculptingthe Crazy Horse Memorial. Crazy Horse was aNative American leader who bravely defendedhis people and their way of life. Ziolkowskicarved Crazy Horse as a memorial to the leader’sspirit. Ziolkowski worked on the memorial—theworld’s largest sculpture—for 36 years, until hisdeath in 1982, refusing to be paid for his work.Ziolkowski’s wife and family continue his workon the Crazy Horse Memorial.The Need forCitizens’ InvolvementHonoring CrazyHorseWhy did Korczak Ziolkowski do so much work and notaccept payment? He was a volunteer. Another volunteer, JohnGatus, a retired steamfitter, who volunteers in an antigangneighborhood patrol, tries to explain: “Volunteer work bringsreal change, change you can be a part of, change you can seewith your own eyes.You don’t need politicians or police to tellyou things are better.You can see it and feel it for yourself andknow you were a part of it. . . . There’s a real pride involved.We’re part of a community.”Every year more than half of all Americans do volunteerwork to help make their communities better places to live. (Acommunity is a group of people who share the same interestsand concerns.) These volunteers include more than 14 millionstudents in grades 6 through 12.Without the efforts of so manyprivate citizens, many pressing social needs simply would notbe met.In the United States, as you read in Chapter 1, governments provide a wealth of services. We rely on government foreverything from local police protection to national defense,Chapter 5The Citizen and the Community125Reuters NewMedia Inc./CORBIS

Analyzing Visuals Democracy is often depicted as achorus of voices—sometimessinging in harmony, othertimes singing clashingmelodies that reflect citizens’ contrasting demands.What “song” are the figuresin this cartoon singing? Howcould volunteerism balancethis image?from collecting household trash to ensuringclean water and air nationwide. Citizens,though, also share responsibility for meeting community needs.The government, after all, has limitedresources. In addition, governments arebureaucracies—complex systems withmany departments, many rules, and manypeople in the chain of command. Becauseof this, government cannot always respondquickly or efficiently to social problems. Inmany cases, the best solutions come fromprivate citizens. Good citizens are concerned about the welfare—the health,prosperity, and happiness—of all membersof the community.In 1961 President John F. Kennedyissued his famous challenge, “Ask not whatyour country can do for you; ask what youcan do for your country.” In 2001 PresidentGeorge W. Bush called for a renewed commitment to community service. He notedthat we can show “the world the true valuesof America through the gathering momentum of a million acts of responsibility anddecency and service.”126Chapter 5Edwards/Whig-Standard/RothcoThe Citizen and the CommunityDonating Time and MoneyPeople contribute to their communities in countless ways, working independently or as part of volunteer groups bothlarge and small. You probably know amom or dad who is active in the PTA(Parent Teacher Association) or leads aScout troop. Neighbors might spend aSaturday afternoon cleaning up a vacantlot or preparing holiday baskets for needyfamilies. Retirees mentor schoolchildren,record books on audiotapes and CDROMs for the blind, and lead museumtours. You or your fellow students mightvisit nursing home patients, volunteer inan animal shelter, or collect canned goodsfor a local food pantry.Contributing your time to work oncommunity projects is the heart ofvolunteerism—the practice of offeringyour time and services to others withoutpayment. However, Americans may alsosupport worthy causes by contributingmoney. In 2003, individual Americans gavemore than 183 billion to charity. Much ofthis money came from small donations by

average citizens. The typical Americandonates about 2 percent of his or herincome to charity.Many companies, too, believe in givingsomething back to the community. Smallbusinesses may sponsor a recreationalsports team or donate prizes for a charity’sfund-raiser. Large companies often contribute thousands of dollars to communityprojects, like building a new public swimming pool or putting on a free concert.They frequently match the charitable donations of their employees, chipping in a dollar of corporate funds for every dollar thata worker gives to charity.Many companies make a special commitment to investing in young people. Theymay offer college scholarships to studentsor give their employees time off to volunteer in the schools.Inferring Why isvolunteerism so important?Volunteers in ActionCommunity involvement tends to berooted in individual action and informalgroups. People are more likely to participatewhen they feel a personal connection to acause or know others involved. Thus theyjoin their Neighborhood Watch or becomeactive at their child’s school. They reach outto the community through their religiouscongregations or service clubs like the Lionsand Kiwanis. Some people, however, volunteer through more formal channels.Charitable OrganizationsMore than one million charities are officially registered with the federal government. Many are small and locally based.They often work on one or two projects,such as helping the victims of domesticabuse or preserving historic landmarks.Other organizations, such as the UnitedWay, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America,and Big Brothers Big Sisters, are large,national bodies with varied activities serving millions of people.All of these groups depend on ordinarypeople who give their time freely. Most,however, also have some paid staff whohelp set organizational goals, manage thebudget, and oversee operations.Justin Dart, Jr.(1930–2002)Justin Dart, Jr., had a message to deliver: “People withdisabilities are fully equal.” Tospread that message, he traveled to all 50 states at leastfour times and to nationsaround the world. Stricken withpolio at age 18, Dart used awheelchair and knew personally the hurdles people with disabilities mustovercome. He worked to tear down these hurdles by launching, along with his wife YoshikoSaji Dart, the disability rights movement.Dart advised governors, presidents, andthe U.S. Congress on the subject of disabilities. However, he relied on grassroots support—the support of ordinary people—to bringabout change. “Get into politics as if your lifedepended on it,” he told one audience.In 1990 Dart’s grassroots army won passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.The act prohibits discrimination against peoplewith disabilities. In 1998 Dart received thePresidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’shighest civilian award. As the 2000s opened,Dart wanted to carry the disability rights movement worldwide. He died in 2002.Chapter 5The Citizen and the Community127AFP/CORBIS

School-Based ProgramsAcross the country, more than half of allschools now arrange community service forstudents in grades 6 through 12. Severalhundred school districts even require it. InAtlanta, Chicago, and the entire state ofMaryland, for example, high school students must volunteer a set number of hoursto earn a diploma.Some people believe that communityservice is less meaningful when it is obligatory. According to one school official inAtlanta, however, the “students think it’s aneat idea, and for many of them it is nothing new.” Many have already been activevolunteers in the community.National Service ProgramsOver the years, the federal governmenthas created various national programs toencourage volunteerism. In 1961, for example, the Peace Corps was launched to helppeople in the poorest corners of the world.The Peace Corps has sent tens of thousandsof Americans to 135 countries, where theyadvise farmers, teach children, dig wells,help start small businesses, and fight thespread of AIDS and other serious diseases.Here in the United States, the governmentprovides community service opportunitiesthrough AmeriCorps and the Senior Corps.More than 50,000 Americans participate each year in AmeriCorps. Most workthrough local and national organizations tomeet community needs. Under the guidance of the American Red Cross, for example, volunteers help victims of floods, fires,earthquakes, and other disasters. Workingwith other groups, they might clean up polluted rivers, immunize children, or assistpeople with disabilities. In return for a yearof full-time service, AmeriCorps volunteersreceive an allowance to live on and moneyto help pay for college.The Senior Corps provides volunteeropportunities to Americans aged 55 or older.These senior citizens take part in three mainprograms. Foster Grandparents work one onone with children with special needs. SeniorCompanions help other seniors meet theirdaily needs while living in their own homes.The Retired and Senior Volunteer ProgramWorking Together in Emergencies Workers formed a human chainto transport supplies to boats, which carried them to Manhattan tohelp recovery efforts at the World Trade Center in 2001.

The program broughttogether the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, andSenior Corps. Bush added another component called “Citizen Corps.” He stated thatthe purpose of Freedom Corps was a focuson three “areas of need: responding in caseof crisis at home, rebuilding our communities, and extending American compassionthroughout the world.” Bush appealed toAmericans to serve their neighbors andtheir nation.The Benefits of VolunteeringThe United States has always been anation of volunteers. When Alexis deTocqueville, a French political writer, visited America in the 1830s, he was amazedto see citizens pitching in to solve community problems rather than relying onthe government. He explained it as “selfinterest rightly understood.” In otherwords, by banding together to serve thecommunity, we also serve ourselves.By volunteering we make our communities better places to live and gain new opportunities to learn, make friends, and improveour teamwork, leadership, and problemsolving skills. It is satisfying to know that youcan make a difference in someone else’s life.Inferring How doesvolunteering serve self-interests?Study Central TM To review this section, go toTMSECTIONASSESSMENTciv.glencoe.com and click on Study Central .Checking for UnderstandingCritical ThinkingAnalyzing Visuals1.
