“We have the Bill of Rights. What we need is a Bill of Responsibilities”
— Bill Maher

Simplified Meaning:
A Bill of Rights gives people important freedoms like the right to speak their minds or practice their religion. But just having these freedoms isn't enough; people also need to act responsibly. This means thinking about how their actions affect others and making choices that help their community. For example, you have the right to free speech, but you shouldn't use this right to spread lies or hurt others. If everyone focused not just on their own rights but also on their duties to others, we would have a more respectful and supportive society. By balancing our freedoms with responsibilities, we create a better place for everyone.
