1 answer

The obligations of U.S. citizenship include the following:

  1. Defend the nation - This is an obligation, as citizens may be called to serve in the military or may be required to register for the draft.
  2. Obey laws - Citizens are required to follow all local, state, and federal laws.
  3. Pay taxes - Citizens are obligated to pay taxes to support government services.
  4. Serve on juries - Citizens may be required to serve on juries when summoned.

"Vote in all elections" is not an obligation; while voting is an important civic duty, citizens are not legally required to vote in every election.

Therefore, the correct obligations of U.S. citizenship from your list are:

  • Defend the nation
  • Obey laws
  • Pay taxes
  • Serve on juries
