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.

These amendments guarantee certain freedoms and rights, so they are known as the Bill of Rights.
