This distinction is true. The further question of who are and who are not citizens has its difficulties, Accept the definition of citizenship to be the enjoyment of equal rights and privileges at home, and equal protection abroad, and consider the question from this standpoint, from which alone it should be treated, for we have no law in the United States which divides our citizens into classes or makes any difference whatever between them. We then discover the importance that the equal rights of citizens when at home should maintain when abroad, because questions as to citizenship are determined by municipal law in subordination to the law of nations. Therefore, the value of citizenship should not be underestimated. Every individual should have some central point from which he emanates and to which he returns, where he is clothed with citizenship and the consequent enjoyment of all rights and privileges which citizenship confers.

If this observation be founded in truth, - as the writer believes it to be, - and it be conceded that the subject herein treated is within the description mentioned, it would appear to be unnecessary to make apology for offering the reader a contribution to the law and literature of citizenship. That citizenship is a great question, in the most liberal meaning of the expression, will not, it is presumed, be denied. It is also a many-sided question. The term involves the idea of rights and duties, of sacred obligations and cherished prerogatives. Its present consideration has reference to the relations between individuals, as well as to the responsibilities of a state towards its own citizens and towards the citizens of other states. It will appear in the progress of this discussion why the terms "citizen" and "citizenship" have been employed in preference to other expressions which designate national character and nationality. The plan and general scope of the work will be readily understood on reference to the full title. The division of the subject adopted seemed natural; and the comparative and historical method of investigation, which has been pursued, is at once convenient and instructive.
