citizenship rights
Member state privileges
Citizenship rights are the legal protections and privileges granted to members of a political community—typically a nation-state.
These include civil liberties like free speech and due process, political rights like voting and holding office, and social rights like access to education and public services.
The movement fought for full citizenship rights for all residents.
The concept implies both entitlements from the state and participation in civic life.
