Context

Civic participation has been fundamental to American democracy since the founding. While voting and military service are often emphasized, the framers understood that stable government requires citizens to fulfill both formal obligations (like paying taxes) and voluntary duties (like public service). The concept of citizen responsibility balances the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
