Correct answer:
Responsibilities are tasks that are expected of citizens, while duties are tasks that are required of citizens by law.
Explanation (brief):
- Duties (legal obligations): obey laws, pay taxes, serve on a jury when called, register for the draft (for men), attend school (for children/parents in some jurisdictions). Failure can lead to legal penalties.
- Responsibilities (civic expectations/voluntary): vote, stay informed about public issues, volunteer, participate in civic life, respect others’ rights. These are encouraged but not legally enforceable.
