Citizenship can be seen as successive moments of heightened consciousness about belonging. Contests over citizenship in the contemporary world may be construed in terms of a constitutional moment which has transformed the Constitution into an ‘insurgent’ text – recasting the constitutional order from a fetter on democracy to one of re-iteration of the principles that were adopted by ‘We, the people’.
