    Citizenship involves a relationship between an individual and their country where citizens have both rights and responsibilities. Citizens have rights like voting, freedom of movement, and non-discrimination that are protected by law, and responsibilities such as obeying laws, paying taxes, and respecting the rights of others that strengthen their country. A citizen belongs to and benefits from their country, while the country also benefits from its citizens through jobs, prosperity, and culture.
