Answer:

All citizens are responsible for obeying federal, state, and local laws. After you turn 18, you must serve on a jury. Your name will be drawn at random from driver's licenses, voter registration, tax documents, and other similar documents. A summons is delivered to you once you've been picked to serve on a jury. When you receive your summons, you must report to the court, where they will question you and decide whether or not you will serve on a jury.

Another responsibility as a citizen is to pay taxes. All citizens with an income of more than $12,950 must pay taxes, whether it is a sales tax, a property tax, an individual income tax, or another type of tax.

It is possible that male citizens over the age of 18 will be forced to register for the draft. You may be required to perform mandatory military duty in the event of a war or other national emergency.

One of your duties as a citizen is to participate in your community and go above and beyond your legal responsibilities. Some examples include cleaning up litter on the streets, testifying as a witness in court, and assisting neighbors and communities in need.

Participating in public services is another of your duties. Volunteering in the military, conducting community service, and working in a public service job are all examples of this.
