bounden

“There is a bounden duty on the government to provide basic amenities to the citizens of the country.”

They consider it no less than their bounden duty to bring back a larger fish than last year.

Yet the penguins, seals, sea-lions, and sea-elephants which contrived to maintain a hold on life in those inhospitable regions represent types of animal life which it was our bounden duty to preserve.

This prompted 300 other citizens to complain: “We feel it our bounden duty to protest and to express our utter disapprobation of the unexpected and unnecessary violence by which the assembly was dispersed.”

They are trolling for votes, their bounden duty, and they are fishing in promising waters.
