Starting this January's blogspot
with Goggle's AI summary offers a quick outline of the meaning of
"citizenship" in the general sense: "Citizenship is a legal bond
with a nation, granting rights (like voting, passport) and duties (like
allegiance, taxes)…"
However, this is a word that is
associated with political power, especially in the US.
The link to wikipedia.org's very
thorough origins of the noun word "citizenship" does precisely
explain how the current conception evolved into what now is a globalized view
of the existence of this word as it may apply for citizenship in different
nations.
I've also included dictionary
definitions, such as merriam-webster.com for the noun word 'citizenship'
definition, which also offers the applicable use of the word in a sentence
referring to the pause created by President Trump's executive order. I could find only one other dictionary, cambridge.org., which
defined this noun word with an English speaking world
overlook, that included a sentence about an immigrant coming to work in
Australia who pursued Australian citizenship.
There were many pdfs. that offered
a variety of applicable studies of the word "citizenship" which I
didn't include, such as what citizenship means for kids, and other more
scholarly approaches to the concept in a variety of situations.
For those who keep up with the
SCOTUS docket, a decision on birthright citizenship will be rendered in 2026,
then until another challenge is presented, like other nations around the world,
someone who wants to identify as an American citizen will know if birth in the
US will be enough to qualify for a passport.
