A citizen of the United States was also a citizen of the several States (united). However, the Fourteenth Amendment changed that.

Find out that a citizen of the United States, under Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment is also recognized under international law with the nationality of a citizen of the United States. Examine applications for passports filed by citizen(s) of a State both before and after the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment.
