Answer 2

The difference between obligations and responsibilities of U.S. citizens is that obligations are legally binding and required by the government, while responsibilities are voluntary actions that contribute to the well-being of society.

I think the consequences on society if citizens do not fulfill their obligations and responsibilities could include a breakdown in public services and infrastructure, reduced trust and cooperation among citizens, and a decline in the overall well-being and functioning of the community.
