What is one responsibility that is ONLY for United States citizens?

Reviewed by Jordan Morley, Editorial Lead at 247SimpleTests. Written by the 247SimpleTests Editorial Team from the official source material cited on every question.

Correct answer

Serve on a jury

  1. A Pay taxes
  2. B Serve on a jury
  3. C Drive safely
  4. D Obey the law

Why this is the answer

JURY DUTY is a responsibility for US citizens specifically — non-citizens cannot serve on federal or state juries. Serving on a jury is how citizens participate in the justice system. USCIS Question 50: 'What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?' is different from Question 49: 'What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?' Key answer: SERVE ON A JURY. Other citizen-specific responsibilities: VOTE in federal elections (non-citizens cannot legally vote in federal elections). Compare: responsibilities of ALL people in the US include obeying laws and paying taxes — these apply to non-citizens too.
