A citizen,
is an idea.
It is a status,
a person,
a projection,
the mask one wears,
when identifying
one self
as a member in a
political body
or
“body politic,”
such as
a city or state,
or nation.
It is translated from
the Greek word
“polis”
from which the words
“politic” and “political”
and “polite”
also have their origin.
There are many different
political bodies
on Earth,
and therefore
many different
citizenships.
As are all
cities, states and nations,
America too
is an idea.
This idea is unique
in that
America is a
“sovereign body politic”
known as
“The People.”
Membership
in this special political body
makes one
a member of
the American sovereignty—
who are the children
of the Creator,
who is
the origin and the source,
of their sovereign
power and right.
If this premise is removed
from the foundational idea,
of what America is,
America is destroyed
at the ideal level.
