Another reason why Clyde is the better citizen is because a good citizen spends time with his/ or her family. A good citizen knows that by spending time with his/their children, their traits will soon rubpass down ton them, and when the children grow up, they will become good citizens themselves. Clyde was a family man. Clyde only wanted to protect his family and give them the justice that they deserved. His family meant a lot to him. He was actually in his daughter's life. Of course, Nick's family meant something to him, but he never had time for his daughter.He Nick always missed out on parts of her life because obviously, his career came first. Father-daughter relationships are important. A father who is involved in his daughter's life can teach her a lot of things. Clyde was involved in his daughter's life and Nick was not.
