[DiogenesLamp]

We threw out liege-lord bondage. We didn't throw out the Jus Soli principle, which says simply that those born in a country are members of that country. Has nothing to do with servitude. Has to do with who is, and who isn't, a member of that particular country.

On the basis that the King OWNS everyone born on his soil!

Nonsense. The entire Western hemisphere, including every South American country except for French Guiana, uses the jus soli principle.

There is no inherent “servitude” in the principle that those born in a country are citizens of that country.
