After long delay, please see my entry on

I welcome any questions or suggestions you may have.

I've since added more content on a) the development of nationality law in the colonies and b) the pre-revolutionary debate on naturalization rights afforded to immigrants. All together, I intend this entry to provide the historical backdrop for other wiki pages dedicated to the progression of United States nationality law.
