36 Chapter 8, Section 5 Rights and Responsibilities of Citizens What makes a person a citizen of the United States? How can Americans develop democratic values? What are the responsibilities of citizenship?
37 What Is a Citizen? Chapter 8, Section 5 A citizen is a person who owes loyalty to a particular nation and is entitled to all its rights and protections. To be a United States citizen: You were born in the United States or at least one parent is a citizen. You were naturalized, that is, you have completed the official legal process for becoming a citizen. Many immigrants people who enter another country to settle there become naturalized citizens. First, immigrants may have permission to stay in the country as resident aliens, or noncitizens living in the country. You were 18 or younger when your parents were naturalized.
38 Democratic Values Chapter 8, Section 5 Basic Values Patriotism Respect Responsibility Such as honesty and compassion A feeling of love and devotion toward one s country; inspires Americans to serve their nation For ourselves, our families, our neighbors, and other members of our community Both personal and public responsibility; responsibility for ourselves and the consequences of our actions Responsibility Physical and moral courage; doing the right thing even when it is unpopular, difficult, or dangerous Civic Virtue a willingness to work for the good of the nation or community even at great sacrifice.
39 Responsibilities of Citizenship Chapter 8, Section 5 Voting Obeying the laws Defending the nation Serving on a jury Serving the community Being informed Citizens must study the candidates and issues in order to make responsible choices. We give the government the power to make laws for us, so we have a duty to obey the laws. Citizens must help defend the nation against threats to its peace or security, such as by serving in the military. Citizens must take time out from their work and personal lives for jury duty, serving on a jury when called. Many citizens offer their time and talents to improve their communities and help others. Citizens cannot protect their rights unless they know what they are and stay informed.
40 Section 5 Assessment Chapter 8, Section 5 One democratic value is moral courage, which means a) doing the right thing even when it is unpopular. b) showing a feeling of love and devotion toward one s country. c) respecting the property of others. d) serving the nation even at great risk to oneself. Because the Bill of Rights guarantees a right to trial by jury, responsible citizens will a) register for jury duty at age 18. b) enlist in the military without being called. c) take jury duty seriously and serve when called. d) study the candidates before voting for a jury.
