Civics is the study of the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a society. It includes the process by which citizens can exercise their rights and participate in the decision-making process of their community. Separation of Powers is an important concept in civics. It is the idea that the government is composed of three branches - the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch - that have different duties and responsibilities. The Rule of Law is another important concept in civics. It is the idea that everyone in a society is subject to the same laws and that those laws should be applied fairly and equally.
