The most important duty of every citizen is to discharge his responsibilities to the state. This means that citizens have a responsibility to contribute to the development and progress of their country by paying taxes, obeying the law, serving in the military (if required), participating in democratic processes, and generally being law-abiding and productive members of society. This duty is important because it ensures that the country is stable, secure and well-functioning, and that the government is able to provide services and infrastructure that benefit everyone. Without citizens fulfilling their duty to the state, a country cannot thrive or achieve its full potential.
