Yes.
To support the public force there is a mandatory public tax. Each person is taxed based off of how much money they make and have. Baron de Montesquieu would have liked this because everyone is taxed based on how much they earn. No one person gets taxed a lot and no one person doesn't get taxed at all.
Yes, this specifies the duty of citizens.
