COMPARISON BETWEEN US AND INDIA IN THE INTERPRETATION OF CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

Abstract
“Citizens are made not born”. This statement is the basis on which citizenship is defined because it takes into account that citizenship is more than just being born into a country, it encompasses the notion that citizenship can be changed, made active and can be taught. Citizenship is the status of a person recognized under the custom or law as being a legal member of a sovereign state or belonging to a nation. As globalization has taken over the world today it is imperative that citizenship means more than just living in a sovereign state. The citizens living in a sovereign state today should be better versed and tolerant of new cultures and must know a lot about their own culture too. Citizenship consists not merely in enjoying certain rights and guarantees, but also in discharging one's obligations conscientiously.
The rights and obligations of citizenship should be considered as a whole because they are all linked. We cannot exercise our rights if we are not aware of our obligations.
The 14th amendment of the US constitution talks about many aspects of citizenship and the rights of citizens.
