1. which of the following is not a civic duty of us citizens? (usg.4.ip)

serving on a jury when summoned

Explanation:

• For question 9: The 26th Amendment to the US Constitution lowered the voting - age to 18, and the 15th and 19th Amendments prohibited discrimination in voting based on race and gender respectively. So any citizen age 18 or older, regardless of gender and race can vote in federal elections.
• For question 10: Civic duties are obligations that citizens must fulfill. Registering for the Selective Service, paying federal taxes, and serving on a jury when summoned are civic duties. Running for political office is a right, not a duty.

Answer:

1. B. Any citizen age 18 or older, regardless of gender and race
2. C. Running for political office
