The last two days we had been researching. Hear is some research I done. We have freedom of Religion, freedom of Assembly, to Keep and Bear Arms, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and protection for those accused of crimes. http://bensguide.gpo.gov/3-5/citizenship/index.html The most important right citizens have is the right to vote. By voting, the people have a voice in the government. The people decide who will represent them in the government. Before. voting in an election, each citizen should be well informed about the issues and candidates.The government may call upon citizens to serve on a jury. The members of the jury need to decide the case in as fair a way as they can.Every person is expected to obey the laws of the community, state and country in which he or she lives. All Americans are expected to respect the rights of others. All persons living in the U.S. are expected to pay the income taxes and other taxes honestly and on time.Appear before a judge in court. The judge listens to the person’s reasons for wanting to become a U.S. citizen, and then decides if the person will be allowed to become a citizen. However, living in the United States doesn't automatically make one an American citizen. Citizens of the U.S. have the opportunity and the responsibility to participate in their government. This process of self-government insures that power will always remain where it belongs - with the people.
