As citizens of the United States of America, we enjoy many benefits that are guaranteed by our Constitution. Among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But with any right or privilege, comes responsibilities. Although your parents shoulder most of the heavy responsibilities such as taxes, military service, voting and jury duty, it is your responsibility to become an educated citizen of the 21st century.
