Citizenship is the legal status and membership in a sovereign state or nation, which grants an individual specific rights, privileges, and responsibilities. Being born in a country typically confers citizenship by a principle known as jus soli (right of the soil), meaning that individuals born on the territory of a state are automatically considered citizens of that state, regardless of their parents' nationality. This contrasts with jus sanguinis (right of blood), where citizenship is determined by the nationality of one or both parents. Citizenship entails the ability to participate in the political, social, and economic life of the country, including the right to vote, work, and reside there, as well as obligations such as obeying the law and paying taxes.
