Part 2/8:
Birthright citizenship can be broadly divided into two categories: jus sanguinis and jus soli. The former, "right of blood," automatically grants citizenship based on parental nationality, while the latter, "right of soil," awards citizenship to anyone born within a country's borders. In the United States, the 14th Amendment enshrines the principle of jus soli, guaranteeing citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil, thus complicating any attempts to redefine this right.
