Welcome to class! 

In today’s class, we will be talking about citizen and alien. Enjoy the class!

Citizen and Alien

Citizen is a native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government and is entitled to its protection. While an alien is a person who is not a national of a given country

Differences between citizens and aliens

1. A citizen is a permanent resident of a state, while an alien is a temporary resident, who comes for a specific duration of time as a tourist or on a diplomatic assignment.
2. Citizens enjoy political rights and participate in the functioning of government, i.e., exercise their right to vote, right to contest elections and right to hold public office. Aliens do not possess such rights in the state where they reside temporarily. They, however, enjoy certain civil rights, i.e., the rights to life, personal property and religion.
