Quiz Description

In this quiz, we will be discussing citizenship rights and responsibilities. More emphasis will be laid on the rights of human beings, some basic concepts about the law, our responsibilities as citizens of a country among others. To be a good citizen means we should know and have an understanding of citizenship.

Citizenship can be defined as the relationship between an individual and a state. In this state, the individual owes allegiance, and in return, receives protection. A citizen of a country has some rights and responsibilities (also known as duties). Some of the rights are The right to live, political rights, freedom of expression, and many others.
