Explanation
A citizen is a legally recognised member of a country or city. Citizens have rights, duties, and responsibilities, such as voting, following laws, and contributing to society. The term can also describe someone who belongs to a community, not just a country. In a broader sense, being a citizen is not just about papers—it’s about being an aware, responsible, and caring citizen for other people.
