  • Rights And Responsibility Of A Citizen Essay

    1778 Words  | 8 Pages

A responsibility is a duty or something you should do, such as recycling or doing your homework.” The difference can therefore be observed in the fact that the right is something the law protects you with, while the responsibility is something the law requires you to fulfill. The right should not make someone forget that they have responsibilities.
