What term describes citizenship in more than one nation?

• A. Naturalization
• B. Dual Citizenship
• C. Right of Expatriation
• D. Reservation

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is holding citizenship in more than one country. That situation is described by dual citizenship, which means a person is a citizen of two sovereign states at the same time and can have rights and duties in both. This can happen in several ways, such as being born in one country and later naturalizing in another, or having parents from different nations, or through legal changes that allow maintaining multiple citizenships.

Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen of a country you weren’t previously a citizen of, which typically results in one primary nationality unless dual citizenship is explicitly allowed by law. The Right of Expatriation is the ability to renounce or give up citizenship, not to hold more than one. Reservation refers to a state’s ability to limit or modify treaty obligations, not to citizenship status. So the term that best fits citizenship in more than one nation is dual citizenship.
