The Bill of Obligations
The Ten Habits of Good Citizens
Book • 2023
In 'The Bill of Obligations,' Richard Haass argues that American democracy can only thrive if the concept of citizenship is revised to include not just rights, but also obligations.
Haass introduces ten essential obligations for good citizenship, such as being informed, getting involved, staying open to compromise, remaining civil, rejecting violence, and promoting the common good.
These obligations are designed to counter the growing apathy, anger, selfishness, division, disinformation, and violence that threaten American democracy.
The book blends civics, history, and political analysis to provide a roadmap for citizens to rediscover and recover the attitudes and behaviors that have contributed to the country's success.
