In the context of citizenship, "responsibilities" are duties or obligations that citizens are expected to fulfill as part of their role in society. "Rights," on the other hand, are entitlements or freedoms that are guaranteed to citizens. Based on your list, here are the responsibilities and rights:
Responsibilities (duties that citizens are expected to fulfill):
- obeying property laws
- serving on juries
Rights (entitlements or freedoms granted to citizens):
- speaking freely
- carrying weapons (depending on jurisdiction; in the United States, this is a right protected by the Second Amendment)
- appealing court decisions
So, among the options provided:
- Obeying property laws is a responsibility.
- Serving on juries is a responsibility.
The others listed (speaking freely, carrying weapons, appealing court decisions) are generally considered rights, with specific conditions and regulations depending on the country and its laws. In the United States, for example, the right to free speech is protected by the First Amendment, the right to bear arms by the Second Amendment, and the right to appeal court decisions is a legal right within the judicial system.
