Rights and Responsibilities

Every citizen of the United States has rights that protect their freedoms, as well as responsibilities that help keep the country strong. This book explains what those rights are—like freedom of speech and the right to vote—and how people use them every day. It also explores the responsibilities that come with those rights, such as following laws, respecting others, and taking part in the community. With clear, straightforward language, readers learn how rights and responsibilities work together to strengthen a democracy.
