I believe there should be two basic, adult categories...Citizen and Taxpayer.
The citizen has earned the rights and priviledges of the title and franchise.
The Taxpayer purchases the basic liberties, sans franchise by paying taxes.
The citizen also pays taxes, but can vote and hold certain, key positions.
The third adult category, "Leech", may be on welfare, but rights are restricted, including the 2nd Ammendment.
That’s interesting.
How does one earn citizenship? (Hopefully not by the king’s appointment).
So everyone is one ruling away from losing their rights.
Perhaps you recall that a man attempted to get a ruling that he was legally dead overturned. He failed despite standing in the court room petitioning the judge to rule that he was in fact alive, the judge would not.
If a legal status can be removed, then noone’s status is safe.
