Citizenship during the French Revolution
During the French Revolution, a distinction was made for a time between active and passive citizens. In 1791, the Legislative Assembly was chosen by a process of indirect election; the Electors of the Assembly were themselves elected by "active" citizens, male citizens whose annual taxes equalled the local wages paid for three days of labour. This disfranchised about half of the male citizens of France. Even higher economic requirements for the Electors and the members of the Assembly left only about 50,000 eligible men in a country of some 25 million people.
Passive Citizens
Passive Citizens were those who had no property rights or voting rights. They were entitled to protection by law with relation to their belongings and their liberty, but had no say in the making of government bodies. This group totaled around three million men within France.The constitution of 1791 reduced the women of france to passive citizens.
Active Citizens
Active Citizens numbered around four million men. They were literate adults who could use reason. They needed to speak French and have been a resident for more than one year. They had a stake in the government bodies. They paid taxes equal to about three days work a year, a sum of about 1 ½ and 3 livres. These men met in primary assemblies (assemblees primaires) to nominate electors and members of the councils in their municipalities. Active citizens (and their sons over the age of 18) were also, in that period, the basis for the French National Guard, the military bastion of the middle class.
Citizenship during Nazi Germany (the Third Reich)
In Germany, citizenship was a valuable privilege that included the following:
1693: Rights to engage in business in a town.
1694: Protection under the law.
1695: Permission to reside in a town without being expelled.
Naturalization is the process of granting citizenship privileges and responsibilities to residents. Citizenship was usually extended by individual cities to certain of their inhabitants. National citizenship was rare until the German Empire of 1871. Those who received the rights to citizenship were recorded in citizenship books Only males of the middle or upper classes were granted citizenship, and only if they were born legitimately. Merchants and craftsmen were commonly granted citizenship.
The Nazi Party rescinded citizenship from any person in Nazi Germany that was not considered to be of the Aryan Race, such as German Jews, German Romani, German Slavs, and numerous other minorities in Germany. Citizenship became contingent on ethnic and "racial" lines. Additionally, the value of citizenship lessened since citizens had no direct or indirect effect (through representational voting) to determine policy. Only Nazi Party membership guaranteed a person political rights.
