Answers from the USCIS list
Give one of these answers.

- Civic duty
- Makes the draft fair, if needed
Our explanation
Men age 18 through 25 must register (sign up). It is the law and a civic duty. A draft is when the government requires people to serve in the military. Registering helps make a draft fair, if needed.
Remember it
Same as taxes: “Required by law” or “Civic duty.” Plus: it makes the draft fair.
