Jus Soli Situation

If a child is born within the geographical boundaries of a country that follows jus soli, that child is automatically granted citizenship of that country. This is in contrast to the legal principle of jus sanguinis, which grants citizenship based on the nationality or ethnicity of one's parents, rather than place of birth.

Jus Soli in Action: Calvin’s Case (1608)

As discussed in the previous post, the United States concretized jus soli as a method of obtaining citizenship in the Fourteenth Amendment. Today, I would like to review one the first cases when jus soli was put into action and afforded an individual rights based on where and when he was born. 

The approach that an individual has citizenship of the land where he or she is born became part of the common law of England in 1608 with Calvin’s Case, just a few years after the England when the Scottish and English kingdoms were united in 1603 under King James (King James VI of Scotland, King James I of England). 

The main character of the story is Robert Calvin, a boy who was born in Scotland after 1603. Calvin was set to inherit two estates that were located in England. Opponents to him inheriting the estates argued that Calvin could not inherit the land because he was an “alien,” meaning that he was not a subject to the King of England. As such, he also did not have the right to sue for the land that they were trying to keep from him. Calvin’s guardians took the case to court. In court, the issue was whether persons born in Scotland after 1603 were, as a resulted of the kingdoms being united, English subjects. 

The Court held that because Calvin was born in Scotland after the union of the two kingdoms, he was a subject to King James, who was, by that point, the King of Scotland and England. Consequently, Calvin did have the right to inherit and sue under English law. Some of the most famous and well-known reasoning was given by Lord Coke, one of the judges who decided the case. He argued that a natural relationship existed between a King, the sovereign, and one who is born on the sovereign’s land and that there were reciprocal, natural obligations between the two that could not be discounted. 

As a consequence of the decision, anyone born in Scotland after 1603, then referred to as postnati, were considered subjects of King James I. Persons born in Scotland before 1603, referred to as antenati, did not acquire English subjectship. Somewhat awkwardly, the case also meant that there were individuals who were born on the same territory, but had different rights based on when they were born.

Trump’s Plan to Abolish Birthright Citizenship: Constitutional Challenges

President Trump has proposed to abolish birthright citizenship by way of executive order. I analyse the legality of the proposal in my column in The Hill:

...the president is not alone in calling for abolition of citizenship obtained by birth; arguments have ebbed and flowed throughout U.S. history, in tune with anti-immigrant sentiment. Calls to abolish birthright citizenship intensified, for example, in the 1990s and in the aftermath of 9/11.

... any such executive order likely would be declared unconstitutional, making the president’s promise futile. Here’s why: Birthright citizenship has a long history in the United States, upheld by Supreme Court rulings.

Unlike “jus sanguinis,” or citizenship that stems from a blood parent who is a national, citizenship by birth is a creation of law and conferred upon anyone born within the jurisdiction. Throughout its history, the United States has conferred citizenship through both means.

Unsurprisingly, birthright citizenship came to America with English common law. Justice Horace Gray emphasized the need to interpret the legal meaning of “citizen” for constitutional purposes in the 1898 case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark. That case concerned a San Francisco man born to Chinese nationals whose citizenship status was called into question when he returned from a trip to China. Ark had never renounced ties to the United States or acquired conflicting allegiance to China, and the Supreme Court’s 6-2 ruling in his favor established precedent in interpreting the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause.

The court observed that under English law, citizenship was by “birth within the allegiance, also called ‘ligealty,’ ‘obedience,’ ‘faith,’ or ‘power’ of the king.” Under the principle, “all persons born within the king’s allegiance and subject to his protection” were citizens.

... The court’s ruling in the Ark case does not seem to exclude the children of illegal immigrants from their birthright of citizenship. Justice Gray was clear that the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment mandate this conclusion.President Trump cannot undo these principles by executive order.
