Topic: Chinese Nationality Law

	Nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nationality law is the branch of a country's legal system wherein legislation, custom and court precedent combine to define the ways in which that country's nationality and citizenship are transmitted, acquired or lost.
		Nationality law is often discussed or studied along with immigration law (for those immigrant-receiving countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) and with refugee or asylum law.
		Nationality law in Europe tends to be based upon the Napoleonic Code which established that for purposes of nationality, that of the father was primary.

	This Month in Immigration History: March 1790 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The original U.S. naturalization law of March 26, 1790 (1 Stat 103-104) provided the first rules to be followed by all of the United States in the granting of national citizenship.

		While nationality law allowed some variation in naturalization requirements, by the turn of the 20th Century many Americans were concerned with variations in naturalization procedures and the increasing lack of uniformity.
