Answer:
C. civic responsibilities
Step-by-step explanation:
A civic duty is an obligation, or something a citizen MUST do because the law says so. If you do not follow these, you will face legal consequences.
Examples include:
. Paying taxes
. Obeying laws,
. Attending school
. Serving on jury duty
Rights are freedoms that are guaranteed, and they cannot be taken away under any circumstances. Rights that are given to citizens are stated in the Bill of Rights.
Examples include:
. Free Speech, peaceful protesting, and religion
. Right to bear arms
. Security in unreasonable searches and seizures (warrants must be issued)
. Freedom from self-incrimination (the police must inform you of your rights)
. Freedom from double jeopardy (being charged with the same crime twice)
. A speedy and public trial
. Protection from cruel or unusual punishments
A civic responsibility is not something that is required, instead it is something a citizen SHOULD do. If you do not do these, you WILL NOT face legal consequences.
Examples include:
. Volunteering
. Voting
. Respecting others
. Be informed of government actions.
Naturalization is the legal process a person must preform in order to become a U.S citizen if you were born outside the country.
Naturalization requirements:
. The person to be at least 18 years old
. Have a good moral character (not being charged with certain crimes)
. Live in the U.S. for at least 5 years
. Understand English
. Have knowledge about U.S History and civics and pass the exam
. Take the Oath of Allegiance (loyalty to the country)
In the question it states that citizens are “encouraged” to respect others and tolerate diversity, meaning they SHOULD. It also states that the government cannot force citizens to be respectful, so they do not have to and won’t face any penalty because it isn’t a law. Hence, it is discussing civic responsibilities.
