USA Citizen

A USA Citizen is one that holds the rights and status to live and work legally in the United States and receive all of the benefits, rights, and obligations of that status. A citizen of the United States receives such status either by birth in the country or through naturalization. If an individual wishes to gain citizenship within the United States, they must go through a very long and thorough process called naturalization to become such. Citizens of the United States enjoy freedom, a democracy, and many rights that come along with this such as voting. There are certain obligations attached to being a citizen of the United States that include paying taxes and serving jury duty if asked.
