<Abstract>This article investigates the differences and the interrelationships between two conceptions of citizenship: one concerned with the ethical and the other with juridical dimensions concerning democratic states. To define a ‘citizen’ according to the first conception, inhabitants are classified as children or persons who cannot engage in political participation and as citizens subclassified as passive or active. Active citizens may be ideological citizens under both authoritarian or democratic regimes. According to the second conception, inhabitants may be nationals or immigrants. Nationals can be subclassified as first subjects who do not enjoy political rights who may be children and others with suspended political rights, or secondly as citizens. Such classifications are the results of research into comparing what has been understood historically and conceptually as civic-mindedness, citizenship and citizen.
All terms share their reference to collectivities generating feelings of belonging among its members, which is undoubtedly linked to its common etymological origin: civitas. However, such words and their different meanings can refer to collectivities in different ways. On the one hand, a reference to belonging to a particular collectivity – whilst not carrying the recognition of a certain status or social position and on the other hand, the attitude or behaviour that members of such a community through the fact of belonging to it express and demonstrate.
The purpose of this research is to provide within a democratic state a clear and consistent definition of three interrelated items - citizen, civil society and citizenship, all of which distinguish the citizen in the broad and the restricted sense - which requires a delimitation of the sociopolitical strata made up of both types of citizens, as well as establishing a series of classifications applicable to citizens in both dimensions. When one thinks logically, common sense tells us that without democracy, there can be no citizenship, although one can see that there are exceptions to this rule. Therefore, this research task investigates differing distinctions and definitions related to the various conceptions revolving around citizenship within a democratic state.</Abstract>
