The Concept, Importance and Legal Foundations of the Institution of Citizenship
Abstract
The institution of citizenship is one of the main legal institutions that express the legal relationship between the state and the individual. It establishes the affiliation of a person to a certain state and, on the basis of this affiliation, determines his rights and obligations. Citizenship forms the political, social and legal status of a person and ensures his participation in state life. This institution also acts as one of the important elements of the sovereignty of the state and plays an important role in protecting legal stability within the country. The legal foundations of the institution of citizenship are regulated by the constitution and relevant legislative acts. In Azerbaijan, these relations are mainly determined by the Constitution and the Law "On Citizenship". The rules for acquiring, changing and losing citizenship are reflected in these normative acts. The importance of this institution is that it ensures the protection of the rights of individuals, forms mutual responsibility relations with the state and strengthens the legal integration of society.
