About

Nationality is the juridical-political bond that binds the individual to a country, which through its own legislation determines which are the people that are considered their nationals. The law's design of the nationality bond has had several strands over the years, in the face of each historical moment and the challenges that each of these moments brought to humanity. Thus, initially, the granting of nationality was the exclusive competence of the sovereigns.

With the emergence of own diplomas, which came to regulate the granting of nationality, each State came to shape its conception in relation to this link. In Portugal, and referring to a recent past, the provisions contained in the Civil Code of 1867, in its articles 18 to 22, translated into a civilistic (liberal) view of the matter related to nationality, translating into legal norms which provided for situations of automatic acquisition and loss of nationality, as well as situations of granting citizenship on the basis of a mixed criterion: jus sanguinis and jus soli. Subsequently, Law No. 2098, of July 29, 1959, highlighted the strengthening of the Social State after World War II. Thus, the granting of nationality came to be regarded as a matter belonging to the branch of public law, although it also contained legal rules providing for situations of acquisition and automatic loss of nationality, as well as others that provided for a mixed criterion, jus sanguinis and jus soli, in its concession.

The Constitution of the Portuguese Republic of 1976 and the legislative implementation of new constitutional principles of family rights have led to a revision of several matters, including the regulation of nationality, as a fundamental right of the individual, in a public relation in the his consideration of the individual, with emphasis on the will in all vicissitudes of the relationship of nationality (true subject in the relation of nationality), eliminating situations of acquisition or automatic loss of nationality, predicting that the family unit in nationality stops be necessary to be possible, which came to be achieved with the publication of Law 37/81, of October 3, law currently in force, with the various amendments published in the meantime and will be the object of this training, in its practical aspect.
