Question

Which action is a civic obligation, not just a civic responsibility?

Answer 1

Option C is the correct answer.

Paying all taxes is a Civic Obligation, since taxes  which constitute payments of money to the government, are necessary for carrying out public programs and services. Taxes have to be paid by the citizens in order to make use of those services that most individuals are not able to purchase for themselves. Federal as well as state or local taxes may include the payment for education at public school, safe roads, health care, fire protection, among others. Besides, when someone pays taxes, he or she is obeying the rules or laws under which a community is able to function; that's why it is considered a "civic obligation" rather than a civic responsability.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. Paying all taxes requires by your local, state and federal governments.

Explanation:

Civic duties are based on the principle that the citizens owe allegiance to the government for the protection granted by the people. It also means the responsibilities of the citizens. Citizenship is followed with rights and responsibilities.

The duties are legally enforceable  obeying the law, paying taxes, serving on a jury and voting are some of the civic duties. they are important because they do good to the citizens and country.  

The major difference between civic obligation and responsibility is that civic obligation is that civic obligation is mandatory while it is not mandatory to fulfil civic responsibility, people may or may not follow it.

Paying taxes is an obligation, it is not a responsibility. The government takes legal action against those who do not pay taxes.
