Answer 1

False; this would be true of Civic Duties, but not Civic Responsibilities. 

Answer 2

F. (False) Citizens who choose not to fulfill their civic duties (not responsibilities) face legal consequences. For example, you can go to jail or pay big fines. Civic duties refer to actions required by law (obey laws, pay taxes, military service, and jury duty) - In order for the government to be effective. Civic responsibilities are fulfilled by choice (volunteerism and vote) - Basic ones of citizenship to contribute to the common good. There are no consequences for not performing your civic responsibilities.

Civic duties are obligations. Civic responsibilities are things that you do to be a good citizen.
