The main reason citizens have rights and responsibilities is to keep the power of the country with its citizens.
On the one hand, a right is a freedom that any individual possesses by virtue of his/her existence. This freedom is protected and respected by the government so that any legislation should violate it, such as the right to free speech and religion. A responsibility is a duty or something you should do.
An individual´s exercise of his rights is also his responsibility to protect and enhance those rights.
