Jus soli, also known as birthright citizenship, is the right to citizenship of a person based on the location of their birth. This principle is common in many countries, including the United States and Canada, where anyone born on the country's soil is automatically granted citizenship, regardless of the nationality or status of their parents.

Jus soli is a Latin term that means "right of the soil." It is a principle of nationality law that states that a person's nationality is determined by the place of their birth, rather than by the nationality of their parents. This principle is in contrast to jus sanguinis, which is a principle of nationality law that states that a person's nationality is determined by the nationality of their parents.
