Talk:Naturalization

message: Naturalization is mentioned in the Constitution proper.  Congress is given the power to prescribe a uniform rule of naturalization, which was administered by state courts.  There was some confusion about which courts could naturalize; the final ruling was that it could be done by any "court of record having common-law jurisdiction and a clerk (prothonotary) and seal."
The Constitution also mentions "natural born citizen".  The first naturalization Act (drafted by Thomas Jefferson) used the phrases "natural born" and "native born" interchangeably.  To be "naturalized" therefore means to become as if "natural born".
Note added to include the UK spelling Naturalisation. Does anyone know how to create a redirect page for that spelling to Naturalization?  MPF 19:03, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The Jeffersonian "Anti-Federalist" party was known as the Republican Party, then the Democratic Republican Party, then the Democratic Party. Yes, it is confusing. Maybe "anti-federalist" would be a clearer reference.Pi9 18:30, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Naturalization is mentioned

message: The article as it stands refers only to naturalization in the United States. Who can write a history of naturalization in other countries? For starters, try to provide paragraphs (or longer, if available) information about naturalization in the UK, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Israel — these countries have either had or have noticeable immigrant population. 
C'mon, give it a try! Many thanks in advance.

thread_title:  Germany 3 years 

message: Summary by country table is excellent, however it lacks an important dimension: what happens to a legal status of the naturalized citizens' children if they have not reached the age of majority? Do you think that the table should be augmented to accommodate this info or creating a new article is a better approach? Palooski (talk) 13:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naturalization of children 

message: Since 2015, when the Uruguayan State began to apply the provisions of the agreement it signed with the International Civil Aviation Organization, the passport of legal citizens indicates, in the nationality field, the nationality corresponding to the country of birth, since the DNIC Manual establishes that "nationality" is an innate human characteristic that cannot be changed or modified. The Uruguayan State defined nationality in this way based on an interpretation of the Constitution made by the jurist Justino Jiménez de Aréchaga in the mid-twentieth century. Jiménez de Aréchaga's interpretation, found in one of Uruguay's fundamental academic interpretative texts, states: "In the first place, nationality is presented to us as a natural bond, derived from birth, from blood". Likewise, this jurist believed that "nationality corresponds to a certain sociological or psychological reality". Speaking on behalf of the drafters of the Constitution of 1830, this jurist concluded: "The quality of nationality thus depends on one fact: birth in the territory of the State". Finally, "nationality is irrevocable".
According to Uruguayan law, the concepts of nationality and citizenship are distinguishable, the first being of a real or sociological nature and the second of a legal nature.
This differentiation forms the traditional concept that comes to us from the illustrious exponent of our Constitutional Law, Justino Jiménez de Aréchaga.
He argued that nationality and citizenship are two completely different individual conditions. According to Aréchaga's view nationality is a permanent state of the individual, which does not suffer any alteration whatever the point of the earth they inhabit, and citizenship is, on the contrary, variable and alters with the different domiciles that men acquire in the different societies into which mankind is divided.
The source of citizenship, he added, is in the actual domicile and not in nationality.
Therefore, he says: "each state feels who its nationals are, and declares it by its law; on the other hand, each state decides who its citizens are, and it disposes of them by its law, for nationality corresponds to a certain sociological or psychological reality."
