Solution

If citizens stop obeying laws and fulfilling their civic duties, democracy can become weak and ineffective. Laws help maintain peace, equality and justice, while civic responsibilities such as respecting others’ rights, voting wisely and protecting public property help democracy work properly.

For example, spreading fake news or damaging public property can create confusion and conflict. Therefore, responsible citizens are essential for the success of democracy.
