1. Citizenship

   Citizenship is an allegiance of person to a state. Each state determines the conditions under which it will recognize persons as its citizens, and the conditions under which that status will be withdrawn. Recognition by a state as a citizen generally carries with it recognition of civil, political, and social rights which are not afforded to non-citizens. In general, the basic rights normally regarded as arising from citizenship are the right to a passport, the right to leave and return to the country/ies of citizenship, the right to live in that country, and to work there. Some countries permit their citizens to have multiple citizenships, while others insist on exclusive allegiance.

1. Citizenship

   Citizenship denotes the link between a person and a state or an association of states. It is normally synonymous with the term nationality although the latter term may also refer to ethnic connotations. Possession of citizenship is normally associated with the right to work and live in a country and to participate in political life. A person who does not have citizenship in any state is said to be stateless. Nationality is often used as a synonym for citizenship in English – notably in international law – although the term is sometimes understood as denoting a person's membership of a nation. In some countries, e.g. the United States, "nationality" and "citizenship" have different meanings, and it is possible to be a national of the country but not a citizen.

Examples of citizenship in a Sentence

1. Wilbur Ross:

   I respect the Supreme Court but strongly disagree with Supreme Court ruling regarding my decision to reinstate a citizenship question on the 2020 Census, the Census Bureau has started the process of printing the decennial questionnaires without the question. My focus, and that of the The Census Bureau and Justice Department is to conduct Decennial Census.

2. Kirsten Kukowski:

   Gov. Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed, his position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false.

3. Sheldon Yett:

   Without citizenship, children... risk marginalisation because they may be unable to access basic health and social services, obtain identity documents, and will be in danger of being trafficked or illegally adopted.

4. Jessica Levinson:

   Trump thinks ‘our country is going to hell.’ Well, there is likely little more than a chance in hell that we are going to amend the Constitution, amending the Constitution is one of the most serious things that lawmakers can do. Therefore the path to doing it is rightfully arduous. I would put the chances … as beyond a longshot. To be sure, changing the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, would require a two-thirds vote in Congress, then ratification from three-fourths of state legislatures. It could also be changed through a constitutional convention in which at least 34 states convene to vote on an amendment, which would then need ratification from a minimum 38 states. Trump since announcing his candidacy in mid-June has made illegal immigrants from Mexico a top concern and has suggested several solutions -- including a wall along the southern border and the change to birthright citizenship.

5. Scott Busby:

   Many people have been there for a very long period of time, they need access to citizenship.
