Rights and Responsibilities The Constitution and the nation’s laws guarantee U.S. citizens many rights and freedoms. But citizens also have responsibilities, one of which is not to abuse their rights. An abuse of the Constitution’s freedom of speech guarantee, for example, would be to yell something that would cause people to commit an act that might endanger themselves or others. A group could abuse the freedom to assemble by gathering to act violently or destructively. Citizens’ responsibilities also include duties such as obeying traffic laws, respecting the outcome of elections and paying taxes.
