Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Citizenship in the United States
"The distinction between citizens proper, that is, the constituent members of the political sovereignty, and subjects of that sovereignty who are not, therefore, citizens is recognized in the best authorities of the public law." This distinction is true. The further question of who are and who are not citizens has its difficulties, Accept the definition of citizenship to be the enjoyment of equal rights and privileges at home, and equal protection abroad, and consider the question from this standpoint, from which alone it should be treated, for we have no law in the United States which divides our citizens into classes or makes any difference whatever between them. We then discover the importance that the equal rights of citizens when at home should maintain when abroad, because questions as to citizenship are determined by municipal law in subordination to the law of nations. Therefore, the value of citizenship should not be underestimated.
Every individual should have some central point from which he emanates and to which he returns, where he is clothed with citizenship and the consequent enjoyment of all rights and privileges which citizenship confers.
