Citizenship is the status of being a member of a particular country and having the rights, privileges, and responsibilities that come with that membership. It typically involves being born in a country, having parents who are citizens of that country, or going through a legal process to become a citizen. Citizens have the right to vote, work, and live in their country, as well as access to certain benefits and protections provided by the government. They also have a duty to obey the laws of their country and contribute to society in a positive way.
