The idea of citizenship has evolved significantly from ancient Greece and Rome to the modern United States. In ancient Athens, citizenship was limited to free-born males who were native to the city-state, while in ancient Rome, it expanded to include various classes and even non-natives through certain legal pathways. In contrast, contemporary U.S. citizenship is based on principles of individual rights and inclusivity, regardless of gender, race, or social status, reflecting a broader, more egalitarian understanding of citizenship. This shift illustrates a movement from exclusive, status-based definitions to more inclusive, rights-based criteria.
