What do you understand by ‘dual citizenship’ as in the case of the US?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Citizenship of a country alongwith that of a constituent State, where one resides/born.
- Dual citizenship means holding legal citizenship in two countries simultaneously.
- United States permits dual citizenship; individuals can acquire another nationality without losing U.S. citizenship. Dual citizens have rights and obligations in both countries, including voting and tax responsibilities. The U.S. does not require renouncing previous citizenship, although managing dual citizenship can involve complex legal and tax issues.
- While the U.S. supports dual citizenship, India enforces a single citizenship policy, requiring individuals to choose one nationality.
