I don't see voting or taking an interest in government as a right at all, I see it as a responsibility. If you choose to shirk your responsibility to your fellow citizens and your government by not taking an interest in it, or keeping it in check, I don't think government should have to follow its responsibility to protect or take care of you.
What goes around comes around, if you don't care enough about something to spend some time learning about it, don't be surprised when it bites you in the ass.
