Interesting. I believe I recall an issue like that in the past as well (ORYR posting something from some other source without acknowledgment). Don’t recall the particulars though.

People just need to be aware. Especially when the website doesn't cite the source or give a link to it. On that note, I suppose I should have linked to P&E, but I know there has been some controversy here between them and the owners of freepers, so I posted with caution.

OTOH, Today I have been reading through Madison's letters prior to and after the revolution as well as his presidency. Madison in 1782 was the 1st to call for a rule of uniform naturalization and talks of the Virginia citizenship laws. In Federalist 42, Madison distinguishes that there is a distinct difference between “inhabitants” & “citizens” and the right of movement. His letters pertaining to naturalization state that the inhabitants are not duty bound to the political establishment but are required to adhere to all laws under the jurisdiction regarding commerce & civil obedience.
