Question

What rights and responsibilities do citizens of South Carolina have? Describe at least two rights and responsibilities. I know two responsibilities would be to pay taxes and serve on juries, but what rights do we have? Would it be voting? What else?

Answer 1

Rights:

• Freedom of Speech
• Freedom of Press
• Freedom of Religion
• Right to a fail trail (if accused of a crime)
• Right to Vote

These rights are guaranteed by both the U.S. Constitution and the N.C. Constitution.

Responsibilities:

• Paying Taxes
• Obeying Laws
• Serving on a Jury
• Being an informed Citizen
• Going out to vote

Responsibilities are things that are expected from active members of their communities.

Answer 2

Yes, you definitely have the right to vote as long as you meet the national qualifications such as age, etc. You also have the right to represented by a lawyer in court.
