Dear viewers, in this part of the session, I will discuss the concept of new ways of living. In this part of the session, we will discuss the concept of citizenship in a more specific way. In this part of the session, I will discuss these two parts. First, I will discuss the meaning and definition of the term citizenship. The term citizen is derived from the Latin word savings, which means resident of the city. Thus, a citizen is one who lives in a city and citizenship is thus the status of a citizen. However, at present, any individual except foreigners living inside the boundary of a state is called citizen. Now, we will discuss the concept of citizenship in a more specific way.

In this part of the session, we will discuss the concept of citizenship. Regarding the definition of citizenship, there is no agreement among the scholars. They have defined it differently. According to Aristotle, he who has the power to take part in the deliberative or judicial administration of a state is said by us to be a citizen. For example, a citizen who has the power to take part in the deliberative or judicial administration of a state is said by us to be a citizen. Blackwell's Encyclopedia of Political Institution says citizenship means a full and responsible membership of the state. If a citizen has a full and responsible membership, he has to take part in the deliberative or judicial administration of a state. This means that if a citizen has a full and responsible membership, he has to take part in the deliberative or judicial administration of a state. To lastly, citizenship is a contribution of once-instructed judgment for public good. From the above definitions, the following features of a citizen may be forwarded, or we may forward the following features with the help of the above definitions.

They can participate in the political affairs of a state. They may perform certain duties and obligations of the state. They have legal recognition. They must stay in the residence. Now, we should move towards the next point of our discussion that is the origin of the concept of citizenship. The idea of citizen emerged in Greek citizens. The idea of citizen emerged in Greek citizens. The idea of citizen emerged in Greek citizens. But it was restricted in the second year. Because citizenship was confined to privileged class excluding women, slaves, children and residential lands. During the Roman Empire citizenship was initially confined to the ruling class only. The idea of citizenship was restricted in the second year. The scope of citizenship was broadened to include the common people. The idea of citizenship was restricted in the second year. Accordingly, different categories of citizens emerged. It's entitled to different kinds of rights. It's entitled to different kinds of rights. However, people belonging to the lower strata of the society and the women folk were denied citizenship rights. During the medieval period, citizenship came to be associated with the rise of the emerging national state. It was thought of not in terms of rights and privileges that an individual enjoyed in relation to the law or account in relation to the state. The glorious revolution of 1988 popularized the idea of citizenship. The revolution established the superiority of the parliament over the monarch and paved the way for the development of the concept of popular sovereignty. The ultimate authority of the state raised with the entire body of citizens collectively. It established the superiority of the parliament over the monarch and paved the way for the development of the concept of popular sovereignty. The American War of Independence and the French Revolution had also contributed a lot in this regard. In the 19th century, with the advent of liberalism, citizenship was associated with the question of national rights. Accordingly, the state is bound to protect the citizens' natural rights and citizens that had the right to change the government if the letter failed to perform its basic duty of protecting the citizens' natural rights. Subsequently, as the rule of the state expanded to include welfare activities for the citizens, the scope of the citizens became more broad based with citizens enjoying a wide range of rights and liberties. Today, all the individuals irrespective of one's own religion, economic status, caste, color, creed, religion, etc. Other such artificial considerations are granted citizenship privileges by modern states. Thus, citizenship in the modern period is associated with democracy and positive liberalism. It is no longer a narrow concept. Now, confined not only to certain privileged sections but a broad concept which encompasses all sections of individuals except a lens within the territory of the state.
