Answer:

Citizenship by Descent means that you're automatically a citizen (or, in some cases, automatically eligible to become a citizen if you apply) because one or more of your ancestors was a citizen of a given country.

Explanation: hope this helps

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Citizenship by Descent means if you have ancestors who were citizens of a country, then you are eligible to become a citizen. A naturalized citizen, you need to be a legal resident for 5-6 years, be at least 18 years old, need to speak English and so on. Naturalized citizenship has no times to ancestors.
