Postnati

英语百科

Calvin's Case

James, King of Scots, inherited the throne of England in 1603, uniting both kingdoms under a single monarch.

Calvin's Case, [1572] Eng.R. 64, (1572–1616) 7 Co.Rep. 1a, 77 E.R. 377—also known as the Case of the Postnati—was a 1608 English legal decision establishing that a child born in Scotland, after the Union of the Crowns under James VI and I in 1603, was considered under the common law to be an English subject and entitled to the benefits of English law. The principles put forth in Calvin's Case were eventually adopted by courts in the United States, and the case played an important role in shaping the American rule of birthright citizenship via jus soli ("law of the soil", or citizenship by virtue of birth within the territory of a sovereign state). However, the case has also been cited as providing legal justification for the restriction of legal rights to Native Americans following their conquest by the English.
