Obligation
An obligation is a requirement to take some course of action. It can be
legal or
moral. There are also obligations in other normative contexts, such as obligations of
etiquette, social obligations, and possibly the In terms of
politics, obligations are requirements that are to fulfill. These are generally in the form of legal obligations, which incur a penalty for lack of fulfillment, although certain people are obliged to carry out certain actions for other reasons as well, which can be due to tradition or social reasons. Obligations vary from person to person, for example, a person holding a political office will generally have far more obligations than an average adult citizen, who themselves will have more obligations than a child. Obligations are generally granted in return for an increase in an individual’s rights or power.
