What is the duty of an active Citizen in a democracy?

Question

Im writing a paper it starts off like this. " There is a difference between the duty of a citizen in a democracy, and the role of an active citizen in a democracy. Jury Duty, Voting for presidential candidates,...." i need to finish it but im not sure of many duties.

Answer 1

An active citizen does more than the minimum required by law.

Jury duty is required by law.  Registering for military service is required by law.  Responding to polls from the U.S. Census Bureau is required by law.  Obeying laws... you get the idea.

Voting, volunteering for public service (no necessarily military), and active political campaigning are NOT required by law.  Keeping up with issues and current events - not required by law but helps a lot if you want to vote intelligently.

Answer 2

I don't want to put you off with more homework but you should read Robert A. Hienline's, Starship Troopers, you could also watch the terrible movie by the same name they talk about citizens in it also.

A citizen should be prepaired to do their duty to the country.  These dutys may include many things that non citizens can do also.  I became a citizen of the country that I am living in by an act of government, but prior to that I paid taxes, obeyed the laws, and even voted but I shouldn't have.

Sorry I think I muddied the waters for you even more.

Answer 3

Service--in the military or government or both

Not in throwing pots and pans without a solution in bashing up one another in time.

With "Money, money, money"

Just "All for the money"

In kicking the butts of God.

In not worshiping God.
