Good citizenship

The House of Representatives is part of Congress. There are 435 representatives. The number of representatives per state is determined by the state.

It's very difficult for you to add or subtract anything from the constitution. An amendment needs to be passed by both houses with two thirds vote. There have been thousands of amendments passed through Congress but only 33 have been added to the constitution.

Duties are things you are required by law to do. There are many duties of an American citizen. You are required by law to obey law, pay taxes, and serve jury. If you see a crime happen, you are required by law to serve as a witness. Men have to apply for the draft at the age of 18.
