How is citizenship acquired?
Modern law recognizes three distinct ways of acquiring citizenship: 1. Jus sanguinis – or Law of the Blood. Under this principle, children acquire the citizenship of their parents. 2. Jus soli – or Law of the Soil. Under this principle, children acquire the citizenship of the place of birth. 3. Naturalization – the legal act of adopting an alien as a citizen.
