How can people become United States citizens?
Accepted answers:
- Be born in the United States, under the conditions set by the 14th Amendment
- Naturalize
- Derive citizenship under conditions set by Congress
Why this is the correct answer
People can become U.S. citizens by being born in the country under conditions set by the 14th Amendment, through naturalization, or by deriving citizenship as set by Congress. Naturalization requires meeting requirements such as residency, language, and passing a civics test. Birthright and naturalized citizens share the same fundamental rights.
