A democracy is a government rules by the citizens of a cicilization. As in they can vote for a ruler and/or their representitives. Democracy is what the united states is governed by today.
ReplyDeletesome respocebilities of living in a democracy is voting weater it is voting for town board county legislator or even the presedent if you dont take part in voting then dont complane of who gets elected becasue you have the responcebility. also you have to pay taxes.
ReplyDeletetakes on your house how much money you own and even school if you dont do this then you are not only hurting yourself but the people and orginizations that need this money.
A democracy is a government pretty much run by the people of the town, city, state, county, or any other society . to be a citizen you have to live where you are going to be a citizen.citizens can have many responsibilities like if you live in a house you have to pay taxes on the house. you will need to get a job to be able to eat and support yourself.
ReplyDeletedemocracy is the ruling of a civilization by citizens. to be a citizen you have to be of 18 years old, and you either have to be born in the united states or have parents born in the U.S. There are many responsibilities for a citizen, you have to vote when there is a disagreement or like what extreme9 said voting for legislater and president.
ReplyDeleteI partly agree with Icecoffe2 and extreme9 because a democracy is when the people have a vote or "say" in the way the government is run. Their are two types of government that we went over in class: a direct democracy-when a small group of citizens that vote in their individual issues. and then there is representitave democracy- when the people vote for reps to take the issues in their hands and they represent the peoples desision.
ReplyDeleteTo be a citizen it means you are legally allowed and have rights and privlages to vote or participate in your city or town activities.
ReplyDeletesome responsibilities of citizens living in a democracy is they have the wish to vote and not take advantage of it, respect others votes and canidates, and also make sure you're not just voting because itsthe last second and you need to choose someone. make sure your voting to tell others that they can fufill the tasks

ReplyDeleteWhat are some responsibilities of citizens living in a democracy?
ReplyDeleteSome of the responsibilites of being a citizen is to called in to help decied a new leader or a new law being decieded in the government.
i agree with icecoffe2 because to be a citizen you must go by governmeent rules and that your allowed to do things your government says as long you dont break the laws.
ReplyDeletei agree with fungirl77 because we are thinking on the same concept of this situation.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Icecoffe2 opinion on democracy because he explained the actions on democracy and the part the citizens played in it
ReplyDeleteIn the USA, anybody who was born in the U.S. or who's parents are citizens or whoever takes a citizenship test can be a U.S citizen. In old Greece times, in order to be a citizen, you had to be a male. Females had very little rights in these tmes, and were not considered citizens.
ReplyDeleteI agree with panda_lover when they said citizens have the wish to vote and not take advantage of it. You should not vote because of the cool advertisements a candidate shows or tells or if your friends like a certain guy or not. You should vote because of what you think is right or what you think is the right choice. A democracy is a government ran by the citizens and you should respect the fact that the whole fate of the country just might be based upon your vote.
ReplyDelete1. democracy is goverment were the people rule the land, no kings diside the laws but us the people
ReplyDelete2. to be a citezen is like being owned by a comunity. if you are not a citezen you are like a viseter not owned
3.some responabiltys is telling the goverment what needs change and suporting change as it is inserted into a comuity
i would like to add to icecoffe2 that there are 2 froms of democracy: derect democracy wjere we the people vote for laws and changes and representive democracy where we the people vote for other people who vote for us
ReplyDeletedemocracy means the people rule. in the us if you were born here you are a citizen at the age of 18 i believe. some rights of being an citizen are you get to vote on a president in the us. you also get to have a say in the government.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Icecoffe because if you just judge who your voting for by the "pretty" pictures then you are taking advantage of the voting responsibility.
ReplyDeleteA democracy is when citizens vote on other people who vote for people to be in charge of the country. If you are a citizen you were probably born in your country and you are loyal to your country. Resposibilities of a being a citizen is to vote for who you would want to be the president/ruler of your country.
ReplyDeleteI agree with pandalover, they explained all of the important reasons of being a citizen and how they should their citizenship. Voting is very important and it should be done the right way.
ReplyDeleteLike what Icecoffe2 said how the U.S government is a democracy, we got the Democracy from Athens! Also like how the Citizens rule the democracy the vote for actions to be played in their civilization!

ReplyDeleteDemocracy is a type of government that has elections which enables the citizens or other persons to decide who to puy in office
ReplyDeletei believe that a citizen is to be born in the usa or pass the citizenship test for people wanting to become new citizens. it means that when and while you are a citizen you have responsiblities to do like...
you have to do jury duty
you will have the chance to vote but you dont have to.
dont abuse rights like freedom of speech.
Also agreeing with Icecoffe2's last comment, the citizens that rule the democracy have a big power in the rest of the civilizations life. The other citizrns should respect the judgement and go on with their lives or they might cause the whole civilization to suffer. That is one of the responsabilities of the citizens.

ReplyDeleteDemocracy is a form of government in which the citizens rule. The citizens can choose a ruler or president, and they can vote on the laws.
ReplyDeleteI agree with fungirl77 because to be a citizen in the United states you have to be 18 years or older, and you have to be born in United states. Or you have to pass a test to be a legal citizen. Although i don't believe that your parents have to be born in the United States to be a legal citizen. Some responsibilities of a citizen living in a democracy is that they have the choice to vote for a ruler or president, and they get some of the say in laws. The citizens don't have to vote, but they should contribute to their country.
ReplyDeleteDemocracy is a form of goverment by the people and they have the power. and i belive a citizen is working member of society. i feel like the only responsibilities of citizens is to not break the rules and to lend a helping to those that need it. :)

ReplyDeleteto be a citezen you have to be a male, this downgraded women. u also had to be born in the city and have parents that were born there. i think having these rules to be a citezen is very difficult because many people moved to new places, so they couldn't be citezens but yet they still had to pay taxes which i dont think is right because they had no part in voting
ReplyDeletea demcrcy is a government ruled by the ppl..to be a citzen in this government you have to be a male born in tht city. women had almost too no rights.some responseiblities of the citzens are voting..
ReplyDeleteDemocracy is when citizens vote on a leader for their country. To be a citizen means that you needed to be born in the country to vote and be a part of their country. Some responsibilities of citizens living in a democracy is that they need to respect their democracy and its religion, and also the people surrounding it.
ReplyDeletei agree with 1pacsun3. people did move place to place. that made it difficult to be a citizen because you have to become a citizen of the other place you are moving to. i also agree with peaches because you do need to obey the law of the democracy to be a citizen.
ReplyDeletea democracy is where the people have a say in the government and some responsibilities that people of a democracy had were they had to vote and they have to obey and follow the rules they are given... a ccitizen is a person that lives in the city and votes for laws and reps.
ReplyDeletei agree with peaches completely on everything.
