A person who is legally recognized by tradition or law as belonging to a sovereign nation or as having pledged loyalty to a government in return for that government's protection, whether at home or abroad, is said to be a citizen of that nation. One of the main cornerstones of a nation is its citizens. They are required to follow its laws and perform their tasks as required, and they are entitled to all the legal rights and advantages that a state grants to the citizens who make up its constituency. Each of us has a number of rights and obligations toward our neighborhood, state, and nation as a citizen.
Thank you,
