Answer:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Explanation:

You can become a U.S. citizen by birth or through naturalization. Generally, people are born U.S. citizens if they are born in the United States or if they are born abroad to U.S. citizens. You may also derive U.S. citizenship as a minor following the naturalization of one or both parents. A person may become a United States citizen by birth or through naturalization. Generally, if you are born in the United States, or born to US citizens, you are considered to be a US citizen. You are also considered to be a US citizen at birth if you were born in Puerto Rico, Guam, or the US Virgin Islands. Citizenship is defined in the first clause of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment as: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.

Answer:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Explanation:

If you were born to parents, at least one of whom was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, you'll automatically gain U.S. citizenship through the process of acquisition in many cases. It doesn't matter whether you were born on U.S. or foreign soil. And if you have children, they'll also acquire U.S. citizenship through you at birth. Additionally, foreign-born adoptees to U.S. citizens also may claim U.S. citizenship. A child may become a U.S. citizen through the process of derivation if one of their parents becomes a U.S. citizen via naturalization. However, at the time the parent becomes naturalized, the child must have a green card, be under the age of 18, and living with the naturalized parent in order to take advantage of these laws. In addition, a child who becomes a U.S. resident through this special process does not have to go through the process of applying for and passing a naturalization test.

In the American, Enlightenment thought led to an attack on
adelina 88 [10]

The Enlightenment led American colonists to attack their system of government that saw the British have absolute power.

The Enlightenment led to the American Revolution which saw the American colonists secede from Britain. It happened because:

  • The Enlightenment showed that a government that was not acting in the interests of the governed could be removed
  • The Enlightenment showed that a government's power should be limited unlike that of the British

In adhering to Enlightenment principles, the American colonists went to war with the British and defeated them.

We can therefore conclude that the Enlightenment led Americans to attack the British and its flawed system of government.

How did passage of the dawes act affect native american indians?
Nitella [24]
<span>Native Americans were forced to become Americanaized because the passage was meant to undermine tribal unity, which in turn forced the indians to assimilate into the american culture and society. It also took the reservation land that the natives inhabited and cut the land into portions that were then assigned to the Indians, with the right to use the land however they decided to. As a result, indegenous Native families were seperated, war erupted in rebellion to the changes by the Native Americas, and alot of the traditions and cultural rituals became obsolete as they got lost over time.</span>

why did the economy of the french colonies in america 's depend on a good relationship with native americans
balu736 [363]
Because of the fur trade.

The fur trade was main form of economy for the French colonies and the French got their fur from you guessed it, Native Americans. French colonists are an exception when it comes to dealing with Native Americans as they had good relationship with them and did not thought of them as inferior. They traded European goods for furs and the Native Americans even helped them by showing them goods hunting spots. So their relationship was one of cooperation.
