Introduction to citizenship
Citizenship can be defined to be the position of being a lawful member of a certain nation. A legal resident of a republic is a person who all the society, as well as civil rights of the state, are conferred upon them. For instance Citizens of the United States possess the right to live, to employment and also the right to be involved in the public life (Castañeda 2006.). Furthermore, when a person is a citizen of a country they are also required to pay their levies as residents of that country.
