if you didnt choose to not vote?

Question

or participate in any way in government, do you think you should still be required to obey its laws?

& does a good citizen have a responsibility to work to improve his or her society?

Answer 1

A good citizen still needs to obey the law even if the elected government is not picked by you or her or him.

That's why we have democracy. Majority votes rule.

Answer 2

You'd still have to obey the laws, but citizens in a free society don't have any responsibility beyond not harming other people.

Answer 3

If someone doesn't vote they probably aren't an informed American anyway. So they are basically saying they trust their peers to choose a good leader for them and of course they should still obey the laws.

Answer 4

If you didn't choose to not vote, then who chose it for you.
Voting is a privilege following the law is not an option. If you don't like the laws of this country it's a very simple solution. Find a country who's laws you do like, and go there. If you're in the nation, you under that nation's laws.

Answer 5

If I had chosen not to vote, I would still be bound by the laws of the place where I live, especially as I benefit from the taxes paid by others - streets, health care, infrastructure, etc. I would also be bound simply because laws are one way in which we keep things fair (or at least as fair as possible) for everybody concerned.

Answer 6

Laws apply to everyone. It is good citizenship to work for the betterment of society.

And learn English, please. A double negative makes a positive.

Answer 7

please read the beginning of the declaration of Independence, it is our responsibility to protect our unalienable right to life. there is no oath taken by any police officer, judge,or any other public works officer that super cedes that responsibility!
