Duties and Obligations

I keep reaching a reoccurring question in my dissertation and in my general reading:

(1) What are our duties and obligations in society?
a. Do these differ based on whether or not we are citizens, consumers, neighbors, etc.
(2) What is the basic organization principle in society (state or nation, and I mean in a different sense then the constitution).
(3) How do we give consent to these two questions?
a. Is it because we own property, elect representatives, pay taxes, or we do not move?
