As a young citizen of the United States of America, I am entitled to

certain rights.

I also have responsibility to others in this country and to my

country, as well.

RIGHTSDefinition:

Things that youare allowed to do

Types of RightsPersonal RightsAllow people to live how they

want as long as it doesn’t get in the

way of other people’s rights.

Political RightsAllow people to participate in the

political process. We need participation to

have democracy.

People put rights into all kinds of categories, but here are the two main groups with some examples.

TYPES OF RIGHTSPeople put rights into all kinds of categories, but

here are the two main groups.

o Freedom of MovementPeople can go where and when they want!

o Right to VotePeople can elect representatives

and vote on issues!

o Freedom of ReligionPeople can believe what they want!

o Right to own Property

o Freedom from DiscriminationPeople must be treated equally!

o Freedom of SpeechPeople can say what they think!

Personal Rights

o Right to AssemblePeople can meet together!

o Right to Equal Protection Under Law

Political Rightso Freedom of the Press

People can print thefacts they want

o Freedom to PetitionPeople can ask the government

for change without fear!

SPEAKING OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE

Most people know who the President of the United States is. Do

you?

How about the Governor of New Jersey?His name is

Chris Christie

Do I Have Rights?As a student, you have rights, but

your rights are limited to protect you and your peers.

For example, you can’t say whatever you want in a speech at a school event. Your school can require

you to be respectful and appropriate.

When you are an adult, you have more freedom to do and say what you want. And if it’s in public, it should be truthful

and based on facts, not emotion only.It is important for students to have limited rights in school, since most students do not have the maturity

at this age to handle the responsibilities involved.

Blaaaah blah blahhh blah…

What Do All These Rights Mean For Me?

With rights, or freedoms, come…

RESPONSIBILITY!!! There you go again! Explain yourself!

RESPONSIBILITIES

Means: Students are expected to take care of

certain things or perform dutiesOh! Stuff we’re supposed to do!

Types of Responsibility

1. Personal Duties1A. Things you have to do!

o Jury Dutyo Pay Taxeso Obey Lawso Register for Selective

Service o Get an Education

2. Social Responsibilities2A. Things you should do!

o Stay Informedo Tolerate Otherso Protect Public Safetyo Register to Voteo Speak Your Mind

Just like rights, there are different kinds of responsibilities.

Yo Mr. R’s class!Wot’s Happenin’

Dudes?

Yes! As a student, your list of responsibilities might look a little

different.

Your list may not include voting, but it probably includes respecting authority.

I’m a student… Do I have

responsibilities??

See Ya!
