 Re: Citizens vs. Civilians

Citizen vs Civilian? Interesting question. What's the difference? Considered in the light of the U.S. constitution, the difference is that a citizen is one who is eligible to hold public office. This is and a reference to citizens of one state being accorded the priviledges of a citizen in all other states. Civilians then would be all persons legally residing within the borders of the United States. So, which should be accorded more respect? A subjective judgement, which in my opinion would be neither. The Constitution speaks of "the people," so is a lawful permenant resident any less "the people" than a citizen? I wouldn't think so, not from a Constitutional perspective. All civilians are expected to defend and support the country, but citizens are expected to lead it. This is an iteresting dialouge, and taking into consideration the state of affairs in our country today, one that deserved examination. So, what should be the distinction between citizens, lawful permenant residents, and those in our country on a temporary visa for a specific purpose (students, businessmen etc.)?
