This article reviews some of the most influential accounts of our democratic duties. It organizes the debate into three normative reasons that ground said duties: reasons of justice, reasons of citizen equality, and reasons of civic virtue. Although this division is somewhat forced—since duties can be justified on several considerations at the same time—it helps us organize the extremely scattered debates in the literature. Finally, the article concentrates more specifically on a number of duties as emblematic of the conversation, including the duty to vote, jury duty, and others
