acquired allegiance

Read a random definition: droit de naufrage

A quick definition of acquired allegiance:

Acquired allegiance is the loyalty and obedience that a person who becomes a citizen of a country owes to that country's government. This is different from the loyalty that someone who was born in that country naturally feels. Acquired allegiance is a permanent obligation that comes with the benefits of being a citizen, like protection from the government. It is important for people to follow the laws and rules of their country and show respect for their leaders.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Acquired allegiance refers to the allegiance owed by a naturalized citizen to their adopted country.

Allegiance is the obligation of a citizen to be loyal and obedient to their government or sovereign in exchange for the protection and benefits provided by the state. This allegiance can be either absolute and permanent or qualified and temporary.

For example, when a person becomes a naturalized citizen of a country, they acquire allegiance to that country. This means that they are obligated to be loyal and obedient to the government of that country in exchange for the benefits of citizenship, such as the right to vote and the protection of the law.

Another example of allegiance is actual allegiance, which is the obedience owed by a person who resides temporarily in a foreign country to that country's government. However, foreign sovereigns, their representatives, and military personnel are typically excepted from this requirement.

Overall, acquired allegiance is an important concept in understanding the obligations and responsibilities of citizenship. It highlights the importance of loyalty and obedience to one's adopted country in exchange for the benefits and protections provided by the state.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
