“While implementing his rights and exercising his freedoms, everyone must observe the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Lithuania and must not restrict the rights and freedoms of other people.”
This article sets out the basic duty of every person: while exercising their rights and freedoms, everyone must observe the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Lithuania and must not restrict the rights and freedoms of others. Rights and duties go together.
The right to hold a meeting does not include the right to block a street and stop others from moving; the right to express an opinion does not include the right to defame a neighbour.
Memorise the two parts of the duty: observe the Constitution and laws, and do not restrict the rights and freedoms of others. The exam often asks what a person must observe while exercising their rights.
