Answer:

A Duty is a responsibility that can exist because of moral or legal obligations. You're required to do those. A citizen's responsibility is something that is expected from you to do in order to help improving the society, but it is not mandatory. Voting and defending the constitution are a citizen's responsibility, but not voting and arguing against the constitution are also a citizen's rights.

Answer:

Duties is an obligation what you have to do, responsibility is something you can do but you don't have to it's ur own free will. An example of a duty is if your caught speeding and you get a ticket you have to pay for it. An example of responsibility is that your house may be dirty and its your responsibility to clean it but it's not an obligation
