Supreme Court Justice Horace Gray explained the difference in his ruling in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark in 1898: “Subject’ and ‘citizen’ are, in a degree, convertible terms as applied to natives; and though the term ‘citizen’ seems to be appropriate to republican freemen, yet we are, equally with the inhabitants of all other countries, ’subjects,’ for we are equally bound by allegiance and subjection to the government and law of the land.”

"I dearly hope you’re intelligent enough to know that we are not “subjects.”

President Washington March 15th, 1790:

And may the members of your society in America, animated alone by the pure spirit of Christianity, and still conducting themselves as the faithful subjects of our free government, enjoy every temporal and spiritual felicity. G. Washington
