Every person while within the State is subject to its jurisdiction and entitled to its protection.
Allegiance is the obligation of fidelity and obedience which every citizen owes to the State.
Allegiance may be renounced by a change of residence. A citizen of the United States who is not a citizen of the State, has the same rights and duties as a citizen of the State not an elector. An elector has no rights or duties beyond those of a citizen not an elector, except the right and duty of holding office and voting. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a public officer who is a minor shall have the rights and liabilities of an adult, both civil and criminal, with regard to his official duties, and a candidate for nomination or election to public office who is a minor shall have the rights and liabilities of an adult, both civil and criminal, with regard to his activities as a candidate.
