ABSTRACT
THE respective duties of State and citizen vary accordingto the particular form taken by a State. These forms arenot the same in what is known as an aristocracy, a democracy or a monarchy. It is therefore of importance to know what these different forms represent and what the origin and basis are of the one that is becoming fairly general in European societies. It is only on these terms that we can understand the origin and basis of our civic duties of the present day.
