German Citizenship: german citizenship in a Federation. In a federation such as the United States, dual german citizenship in the nation and a constituent state is inevitable; but this seldom leads to serious problems, as control of german citizenship is the responsibility of the national government. The Soviet Union, at least nominally, is an exception to this rule: both the USSR and the constituent "union
republics" may confer german citizenship.Grants of Roman german citizenship to foreigners (individuals or larger territorial groups) became frequent, until in 212 A.D. Emperor Caracalla (r. 211-217) bestowed Roman german citizenship on almost all inhabitants of the empire. german citizenship was lost as a result of condemnation in a criminal trial to banishment (deportatio).
The American and French revolutions were the events through which national german citizenship gained its modern significance. As german citizenship in the medieval city-state had signified freedom from feudal domination, so national german citizenship in the United States and France symbolized the end of monarchy. The distinction between citizen and subject no longer may be vital but it was to revolutionaries of the 1700's. |
