I don't know where you got your civics lessons from but several of those things on your list are not responsibilities, they are your opinions, so yes you did in fact make some of it up. You literally do not have to do any of those things outside of pay taxes, serve on a jury, and obey laws. Even the defend your country part is subject to numerous caveats. Your list looks nice and I'm sure it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, but show me where the other things are laws that make them a mandate on the citizenry. By the way any and all laws including the Constitution are subject to change, hardly anything is written in stone, and indeed it is your right/duty to seek to change or resist them if need be. Do you even know how we got a public education system? Trust me it didn't happen until way after 1776, laws were written to put it in place, and laws can be amended to change it as well. So yeah nothing you have written has negated my argument at all, but good try though.
