What establishes your citizenship under the 'Law of Soil'?

  1. Being born to US citizen parents anywhere in the world

  2. Being an immigrant for 10 years

  3. Being born in the US

  4. Marrying a US citizen

The correct answer is: Being born in the US

Under the "Law of Soil," also known as jus soli, a person is considered a citizen if they are born on US soil, regardless of their parents' citizenship. This means that options A and D, which involve being born to US citizen parents or marrying a US citizen, do not establish citizenship under this law. Option B, being an immigrant for 10 years, may establish citizenship through naturalization, but not under the Law of Soil. Therefore, C is the only option that accurately establishes citizenship under the Law of Soil.
