[Jury duty is] part of your contract with the country.

There is no contract with the country. A contract implies consent, the freedom to sign or not sign. A forced signature is null and void.

By that logic, the government could arbitrarily force you to do anything the legislature approves of.

If the legislature approves, doesn’t that mean the force is not arbitrary? Since whatever they decide goes through an objective approval process.

It’s still arbitrary if it doesn’t address your objections. That’s a violation of consent and thus irrational.
