IN ABOUT 140 WORDS, WRITE A PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES...

10. In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the rights and duties of a citizen.

Almost every modern state, especially a democracy, allows its citizens several rights; but

in return, it expects its citizens to perform certain duties.

Among the rights enjoyed by the citizen in a democracy are the right to pursue his own

affairs as he prefers; the right to express his views, however silly they may appear to

others, and the right to move about as he pleases. The citizen is considered so important

that his rights are protected by the law of the state, and whenever they are infringed, he

can secure redress.

But in a totalitarian state, the rights of the citizen are so restricted that he has practically

no freedom. The citizen is supposed to exist for the state. His interests are always

subordinated to those of the state. Thus, his duties exceed his rights.
