Birthright citizenship refers to the legal right for all children born in a country's territory, regardless of their parents' nationality or status, to be granted citizenship at birth. In the United States, this right is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which states, "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."

The Court emphasized the historical context and legal precedents supporting this constitutional right.
Implications of the Supreme Court Decisions
