Citizenship
Citizenship of the United States[2][3] is a status that entails specific rights, duties and benefits. Citizenship
Citizenship is understood as a "right to have rights" since it serves as a foundation of fundamental rights derived from and protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States, such as the right to freedom of expression, vote, due process, live and work in the United States, and to receive federal assistance.[4][5] However, not all U.S. citizens, such as those living in Puerto Rico, have the right to vote in national elections. There are two primary sources of citizenship: birthright citizenship, in which a person is presumed to be a citizen if he or she was born within the territorial limits of the United States, or—providing certain other requirements are met—born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent,[6][7] and naturalization, a process in which an immigrant applies for citizenship and is accepted

Homeopathic preparations are not effective for treating any condition;[2][3][4][5] large-scale studies have found homeopathy to be no more effective than a placebo, indicating that any positive effects that follow treatment are only due to the placebo effect, normal recovery from illness, or regression toward the mean.[6][7][8] Hahnemann believed the underlying causes of disease were phenomena that he termed miasms, and that homeopathic preparations addressed these
