In citizenship what is a citizen ?

Answer 1

Citizenship means two things: member of the polity and (in the alternative) national of a country. Each carries different rights and responsibilities, although the second may imply the first. On the other hand, in some US states, Florida most notably, ex-felons can't vote. Yet they remain national citizens and domiciliaries (citizens) of the state.

Answer 2

Citizen refers to a national of a country, with the right to protection by that nation's government. Countries define citizenship in various ways, including one's descent, place of birth, marriage or naturalization procedures. In the United States, citizens are either citizens when they are born or become citizens through naturalization.

Answer 3
