An inhabitant of a country who is recognised to have full rights, including all political rights, who has a corresponding set of obligations to fulfill and who is entitled to protection by the government. A resident who is not a citizen also enjoys rights and has obligations to fulfil – but they are not as extensive, eg., rights would not include a right to a passport and, usually, the right to vote and to be elected into office; obligations would not include military service or serving in a jury. |
