The Right of The Citizen and Responsibilities to The Republic

When a number of people find it necessary to form a trust for the mutual benefit of all they enter into a compact, this compact places certain responsibilities upon the new found citizens of this compact, a republic, and certain responsibilities upon the newly formed republic.

With the Republic being formed for the protection of those forming it, its responsibilities lie within the wants and needs of the majority, along with the security of the minority and certain retained right of all citizen that shall never be violated that are decided by the citizens at the consecration of the Republic and added on as times change. The Republic most provide for these with the utmost diligence for it is its only purpose, which is to provide for the citizenry. The Republic must provide for the majority, as it is the base of all its power, the majority is the body of the republic, it provides for the man power The Republic needs and from it draws the right to protection and wish for help in certain dire times. The majority though is not infallible and as a secondary nature the Republic serves as a check much as the majority serves as a check to it. This check is in place for the benefit of the minorities of the Republic, though not as powerful, these groups are members of the Republic and essential to its welfare. There are times when the majority may overlook the minority and threaten harmful proceedings in doing so, it is the Republics job as a protector of the citizen to prevent this and in doing so satisfy both sides to a certain degree but never either fully. The Republic is restricted, in that, it cannot override certain rights or privileges that are deemed inalienable. These rights consist of those privileges thought to be needed by the majority, those needed the insure serenity between the majority and the minority and many to keep the Republic in check and ensure its goals always to be in the seeming best interest of the citizen.

The citizen in turn has certain responsibilities to provide for the best and strongest possible Republic. The citizen being the most important part of the Republic must insure that those rights deemed necessary are provided equally to all citizens, that the Republic is always serving the seeming best interest of the people, and that tensions between majority and minority are settled as often as possible without the Republics help but with both sides equally or close to equally fulfilled. Furthermore the citizen must be aware that along with these responsibilities so too falls the upkeep of the Republic. A Republic runs upon currency, a Republic must procure this through the citizen. Though at times an unpleasant arrangement it lies within the citizen’s best interest to secure for the Republic currency so it may further its securities of the citizen.

These responsibilities and rights are essential to the Republic and to the citizen, both would crumble without them. It is thus the responsibility of each to insure the other is doing their job and do their own. A citizen without a Republic is just a man and a Republic without a citizen is just an idea, but together they provide for a structure which allows for “peace” and ensures the overall prosperity of more than anarchy could.
