The U.S. Constitution establishes citizenship primarily through the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees that all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens. Additionally, Article I, Section 8 grants Congress the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization, allowing for the legal process through which foreign nationals can become citizens. These provisions ensure that citizenship is defined by birthright and through legal processes established by federal law.
