Jus soli is a legal term that enshrines the right to obtain citizenship of a state practicing us salt to persons born in the territory of that state , regardless of the citizenship of the parents. Jus soli was part of English common law , in contrast to jus sanguinis , which derives from Roman law , which influenced the civil law systems of continental Europe ^{[10] [11]} . Historically, salt has been spread in states with significant processes of mixing ( cross-breeding ) of various groups of the population that inhabited a particular territory and immigrant countries ( USA (President Trump called for the abolition of the practice of granting citizenship to children of foreigners ^[12] ), Canada , etc. ), where this right is often enshrined in the constitution . In contrast to jus salt, there is also jus sanguinis ( jus sanguinis ), literally “blood right”, which has spread in Germany and then other mono-ethnic countries of Europe.
