Understanding Constitutional Rights and Duties in Venezuela

Within this diversity, for the flourishing of tolerance and peace, it is important to understand different cultures, as each person has their way of expressing their individuality. In Venezuela, each region or state has a rich cultural, folk, and historical heritage. Through dance, you can see how each region expresses its individuality, yet each person plays his part as it feels in the depths of his being.

At this point, it is important to remember that in some cultures, the group is seen as more important than the individual. It has also been observed that stereotypes do not represent the total picture. Because of this, it is significant to know how individuals in a society can know their individuality without departing from the duties and rights they have within that society. It is recognizing the right to be different while still being responsible, identifying that responsibilities are not just for oneself but also for family, friends, groups, community, and nation.

It is a question that has to do with the past that shaped the culture where you were born, responsible citizenship, and the future, what it could bring. Most teens know what to do and be, which is important, especially the failure to try to be like everyone else. However, within a great nation, each individual has a role to play because each depends on the other. For this, it is clear there are laws to ensure compliance with the duties and rights of every citizen.

Every citizen of Venezuela has a number of rights enshrined in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the bodies that are responsible for channeling and enforcing them. But sometimes, or most of the time, Venezuelans do not know their rights, and for this reason, they are victims of abuses and violations of their dignity as people. It is important to note that just as people have rights, they also have duties that are enforced. But it turns out that certain rights are not explicitly enshrined in a legal text, and if it is difficult to access knowledge about rights, it is even more difficult then the knowledge of duties. However, as required by the Venezuelan Civil Code in its article 1: “Ignorance of the law is no excuse for its performance.” Therefore, it is extremely necessary to know the Duties and Rights attached to the citizens.

To begin the study of the wide range of rights and duties that correspond to the Venezuelan constitutional mandate, it is important to know what each one of these words means: duty refers to the word obligation and can be defined as the set of obligations, either legal or conventional, that every citizen must meet, and the fulfillment of these obligations will depend on the operation of the Company. We also need to know what the word Rights refers to, being well defined as the set of legal provisions (laws) that regulate human behavior in society and establish the set of rules to which citizens have access.

The laws of each country are responsible for each individual to exercise their rights but also comply with their duties as citizens of a nation.

Thus are configured the range of rights and duties we have access to, every one of the Venezuelans, and even some foreigners who reside in the country. Enforcement and compliance with them by both the State and its various organs (police, ministries, government officials, among others) and by the common citizen contribute to building a more just nation and social harmony.
