Except that it goes on to say “ and the change of phrase has entirely resulted from the change of government”, which is what I’ve always acknowledged. Do you know what “entirely resulted” means?

Please, please, PLEASE! Try to read a SENTENCE! A whole SENTENCE!

Then maybe someday you can graduate to paragraphs...

definitions highlighted from Tucker;s Blackstone 1803 edition:

“The term “citizen,” (natural/original common law) as understood in our law, is precisely analogous (Similar in function but not in structure(meaning) and evolutionary origin (jus commune/natural/original common law v. jura corona, or lex prerogativa/feudal/statutory law)) to the term "subject" (jura corona, or lex prerogativa/feudal/statutory law) in the common law, and the change of phrase has entirely resulted from the change of government.”

Thus when the founders & framers changed the form of government, they also changed the form of citizenship. Form being the meaning of the term not the function. It was how an individual became tied to the political state.
