Mohamad Hasheminia[1], Mehdi Abedi [2]*, Ali Salehi Farsani [3], Hossein Abolfazli [4] Abstract: Citizenship rights are a prerequisite for development and basis for change in societies where citizen behaviorism and the fulfillment of legal obligations are needed to realize and consolidate civil and social rights. Citizenship rights refer to a set of civil, political, and social rights that individuals enjoy because they are members of a nation-state and are protected and enforced by law. The most important issue is the political development, which is achieved through the realization of social and citizenship rights. Each society must use all its human resources. The issue of civil rights and political development in our society has been raised in recent years. Citizens with a variety of categories, including the expansion of political participation, national legitimacy and integrity, conflict management, and political integration, can have a significant impact on the public and political life of society. They can increase national security by serving religious and national interests.
