probitas, fortitudo, perseverantia, tolerantia,see below*, humilitas

Responsibility is not easy to be translated. I can’t find a good attestation for responsibilitas in ancient sources, it was rendered with many paraphrases. Responsabilitas is medieval church Latin.

In an official sense it could be "cura". It’s where we get “curator” and “curate”, it comes with the sense of being responsible for or concerned with something.

Onus means a burden, so by extension it can be a responsibility — as in “the onus is on you to do your homework”.

Officium is a duty to do, so you could use also this.

Auctoritas is very much our “authority”.

Reference:

You have to deduce the latin case:
Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Ablative, and Vocative
For example:
Brutus is the nominative-case form.
Brute is the vocative case form.
Brutum is the accusative-case form.
Thus, since the nominative case is used to indicate subjects, you would have to say:
Brutus venit. = Brutus is coming.
Since the vocative case form is used to indicate words of naming the addressee in direct address, you must say:
Et tu, Brute! = You too, Brutus!
And since the direct object of the common verb for I see is put into the accusative case, you would have to say
