Question

Justify the statement, 'Duties without RIGHTS and RIGHTS without duties have no meaning'

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The constitution offers every citizen certain rights and the nation expects some duties from it's citizens.

When all the citizens are provided rights and no duties are required, they get unaware of their country and will have no care and patriotism. They enjoy their rights for no reason and they begin to take it for granted.

If all citizens are made to do duties and not given rights, the meaning of such a condition is slavery. They are only made to do work without certain rights. This condition leads to inequity and this is not the condition of a democracy

Answer 2

Answer:

• Every citizen is given certain rights under the constitution, and the country also imposes some obligations on its people.
• When all citizens have the same rights and no obligations are placed on them, they lose interest in and patriotism for their country.
• They learn to take their privileges for granted since they are so accustomed to enjoying them.
• It is slavery when all citizens are required to perform obligations without being granted any rights.
• They are just required to do tasks devoid of certain rights. This is not a democratic condition because it breeds injustice.

Explanation:

• As the two sides of same coin, duties and rights cannot coexist.
• The reason for this is that whereas obligations without rights would make us subject to servitude, rights minus duties would render us lawless.
• Rights and obligations are inextricably linked and cannot be separated.
• Every right has an associated obligation. All citizens have a responsibility to the state to uphold and safeguard their rights.
• A citizen so also has rights and obligations.
