Civics

The first amendments give citizens of the U.S. their rights like freedom of speech and press, and they will not be punished. It also states that the government can not choose a religion for people to follow, and they can not put down anyone because of their religion. I think this is very smart rule because I see other countries that have to follow a religion and all the issues they have. It cause a civil war.
Duties that American citizens have are to pay taxes. The taxes pay for roads and bridges, and it also pays for health insurance for people over 65 years old. I don't see anything wrong with this as long as the taxes aren't going to make people broke. You also have another dusty to be a witness at a trial. I think this is fine because if someone deserves to be in jail, you should do everything in your power to make sure they don't hurt anyone else, or that they don't break another law.
Some responsibilities citizens have include volunteer at hospitals or library, vote, respect other, obey law, campaign, and express your options. These are all good responsibilities because they help the nation stay together, and keep everyone safe.
