According to the 'Law of Soil', how can one be a citizen?

  1. By being born outside the US

  2. By being born in the US regardless of parents' nationalities

  3. By owning soil in the US

  4. By planting a tree in the US

The correct answer is: By being born in the US regardless of parents' nationalities

The law of soil, also known as jus soli, states that any individual born on US soil is automatically a US citizen, regardless of their parents' nationalities. Option A is incorrect because being born outside of the US does not automatically grant citizenship. Option C is incorrect because owning soil in the US does not directly determine one's citizenship status. Option D is incorrect because while planting a tree in the US may be a symbolic gesture, it does not grant citizenship. Overall, birth on US soil remains the main criteria for citizenship according to the law of soil.
