Citizenship by Birth

Citizenship by birth, also known as birthright citizenship, is the legal right to become a country's citizen simply because you are born within its territory or to its citizens. In many nations, if you are born on the country's soil or, in some cases, to its citizens abroad, you automatically acquire that country's citizenship. This principle helps establish a person's legal identity and rights within that nation. It varies by country’s laws, but generally, it emphasizes that your origin or place of birth grants you certain legal memberships and protections.
