Who did the Greek concept of citizenship usually apply to?

Citizenship is being touted to have originated in Greece, which originated from the concept of democracy. Greek citizenship, though, was strict. It was granted by birth together with a double affirmation, one by the mother, another by the Assembly member. If the latter opposed it, the infant was killed. 451 BC saw the passing of even stricter citizenship laws, which proposed that offspring between Greek male citizens and foreign women could not become citizens, reason being that this move would help curb the numbers of the exploding population numbers.Greek philosopher Aristotle defines citizenship as "he who has the power to take part in the deliberative or judicial administration of any state." Indeed, the Greeks enjoyed the privilege of being governed by democracy; their government was made up of commoners, and they were allowed freedom of speech to a large extent through public speaking rights. Thus, they were able to participate in the governing of their country by creating their own legislation and judiciary. The limiting of citizenship to selected numbers further made the role of citizens more privileged, with the monopolization of land ownership, sole rights to lease land for mining and the right to defend themselves at law.The Romans further developed on the concept of citizenship to distinguish their original citizens (Romans) from the citizens of their conquests. Roman citizens enjoyed the right to vote, the right to serve in the civil service and the right for military service. All who were born to Roman fathers, even if they had foreign mothers, were acknowledged to be Roman citizens. Citizenship could also be granted by generals and emperors.
