Citizen

What does it mean to be a citizen?  What responsibilities does a citizen have?
      To be a citizen means to be born or properly immigrated into the United States of America. You are protected by the government and given the rights listed and not listed in the Constitution. Citizens do have responsibilities to maintain their rights. As a citizen, you must remain lawful, of both nation and state. You must also not commit any acts of treason against the government. Male citizens must enlist in the military at the age of 18 and not refuse if they are drafted during wartime. The citizens, male or female, must respond if summoned to jury duties. This is the idea of what it means to be a citizen of the United States.
