But the language they were all familiar with in the legal terms natural born and naturalized - came from England.So no other nations had laws governing their citizens and only the British model of citizenship was used as a source.
Sorry, just ain't buying it.
And, contrary to your implication, the principle behind it was completely different...sovereign citizens aren't subjects.

If so where is that understanding reflected in the Constitution?
Penumbras and emanations again?
The U.S. Constitution currently envisions only TWO types of U.S. citizen - those that were born with natural allegiance and those that had to be naturalized into that state of natural allegiance.
