Citizenship, Equality and Rights
- The British sociologist T. H. Marshall (1893–1981) offered a generally acknowledged explanation of this link in his book Citizenship and Social Class (1950).
- “Equality” is the central idea in Marshall’s theory of citizenship. This suggests two things:
- The specified rights and obligations are of higher quality.
- The number of people who receive them increases
- According to Marshall, citizenship entails three different kinds of rights: social, political, and civil
- Civil rights safeguard a person’s life, liberty, and possessions.
- A person’s political rights allow them to take part in the governing process.
- Social rights only grant each person access to work and education.
Citizen and Nation Class 11 Political Science Notes

A nation is characterized by its culture and history; it gives its citizens an identity that allows them to be recognized as distinct from citizens of other nations. Indian, Chinese, Portuguese, and American, for instance. Therefore, the State grants these people rights so they can enjoy themselves; nevertheless, the rights granted by various states vary.
