defines citizenship rights as: “A set of freedoms that people of a society enjoy
them that is called individual rights and freedoms, public rights, rights of
citizens, human rights and citizenship rights idiomatically.”

words.

Though citizenship is also applied as synonym of “citizen” but is different from

“citizen”, because citizenship is specified for true persons and for legal entities

weight and a legal weight, it means that content of the word citizen in one side
refers to the manner of human interaction in the society, and in other side these
rights are meant besides other rights and the word citizen substantially includes
citizenship rights and is held as a set of rights, tasks and liabilities of each person,
because one reason for defining of citizen is enacting the citizenship rights and
preserving the freedom of each resident individual of the society as that does not
impact freedoms of others that this matter needs enacting tasks and liabilities
besides each rights the same as citizenship rights
Citizenship rights or public freedoms or citizenship freedoms are a set of civil,
political, social and economical rights that a person as a citizen of state or country
enjoys them and the pillar guarantee of rights is law that in each society, state as
representative of its citizens is mandated to approve them as (rights of nation or
public freedoms) in framework of the declaration of human rights and enforce them
and state-country is a framework that inside its boundaries, those fundamental
rights are applied and in this relation, all concepts related to personal rights in the
society emerges its meaning and concept

Citizenship rights more than all, refer to rights that each person as a citizen of
state enjoys them, including: proper residence, reasonable education and
training and the right of participating in political and managerial structure and
just trial.

glory of law is that guarantees personal rights and freedoms and social
solidarity.
