The reflection on citizenship in Europe is the central element of the article. The historical development of thinking related
to the concept of citizenship in Europe, from the time of the Greek polis, through the philosophical architecture after the
Age of Enlightenment, until reaching the current debate on the whole continent, has led me to make a hypothesis about a
new dimension of relationship between the public and private spheres, a new relationship between the people who are born in
the territory of a State or migrate there, A hypothesis that develops a final thesis linked to the residence concept.
Citizenship of A series and B series, within the second category are usually women, minors, non citizens and people with
physical disabilities. Citizenship and human lives tied to the concept of blood right, or to a more inclusive place right.
Universal human rights and rights "mutilated" by the States; provided that a new relationship between the people and the
State is not re-established, between entities that are always changing, between entities that are always changing, and an
essentially static concept, that has to be changed already.
