Answer 1

In a democratic system, the citizens have a shared responsibility to the government, which includes carrying out their civic duties, such as voting during elections, expressing their opinions, participating in public organizations, and volunteering to support the government. On the other hand, a democratic government is established by the citizens, which also entails that they have the power to choose who governs their country. Thus, maintaining this system requires a mutually beneficial relationship between the citizens and the government, including the citizens' civic duties to uphold democracy.

Answer 2

Civic duties are the responsibilities of the citizens towards their government whereas a democratic government system refers to a system brought by the citizens of that country.

The responsibilities of the citizens to the democratic system would be to vote during the elections, voice a change they want in the country, take part and formulate public organizations and volunteer to help the democratic government for the betterment of the society.
