Citizens have the right to vote and run for political office, while noncitizens do not have these rights. Citizens also have the right to petition the government and have access to certain government benefits and services that noncitizens may not have. Noncitizens, on the other hand, may have restrictions on where they can live and work, as well as limited access to certain social services and benefits.
Both citizens and noncitizens are subject to the laws of the United States and must abide by them. They also both have the responsibility to follow the rules and regulations set forth by the government and to contribute to society in a positive way, whether that be through paying taxes, serving in the military, or participating in other civic duties. Additionally, both groups have the right to legal representation and due process under the law.
Use the excerpt from the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties to answer the question.
“The person of a diplomatic agent shall be inviolable. He shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention. The receiving State shall treat him with due respect and shall take all appropriate steps to prevent any attack on his person, freedom or dignity. The private residence of a diplomatic agent shall enjoy the same inviolability and protection as the premises of the mission. His papers, correspondence and, except as provided in paragraph 3 of article 31, his property, shall likewise enjoy inviolability. . . .”
