Answer 2

Answer: The second part or sentence of the paragraph is a qualifier."We all know that usually native born Americans are U.S. citizens because of U.S. law and the Constitution unless, of course, they renounce their citizenship."

With qualifiers the word or phrase shows how certain or absolute generalized statements can be. The second sentence makes a generalization and its not certain however backs it up by adding the constitution which is a legal document in its statement to back it up.
