The citizenship clause of the fourteenth amendment says a naturalized person is a) not a citizen and cannot become a citizen of the united states. b) is a citizen, just like someone who was born in the united states. c) must have been born in the united states, not in another country. d) must have been born in a country other than the united states.

The correct answer is letter B. The Fourteenth Amendment says and I quote that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This excerpt means that even if someone has been naturalized, and not actually has been born in the US, own the same rights as any other citizen.

Is a citizen, just like someone who was born in the United State.

Further Explanation:

This clause is the first sentence of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States and it was adopted on 9th July 1868. Citizenship clause states that all people who are born will come under the jurisdiction of laws of the country and therefore they all ate the citizens of the United States as well as the state where they reside. The concepts related to the State as well as Constitution of United States already had mentioning of national citizenship that was adopted in the year 1789 but the details in regards to citizenship of the people were unclear and before era of civil war, only few people born in the United States or were naturalized came under the jurisdiction. The Naturalization in the citizen clause is a process through which the immigrants were guaranteed the citizenship of the United States.
