Christopher W. Morris on Citizenship - Dictionary of Arguments
Gauss I 205 Citizenship/state/legitimacy/justice/justification/Morris: If a state is minimally but not fully legitimate, then the obligations of citizens and other subjects are similar to those of foreigners. >Legitimacy/Morris. The latter, even when not in the territory of a legitimate state, are obligated not to undermine its institutions and possibly to support or assist it in certain circumstances. Non-citizens have no general obligation to obey the laws of legitimate states to which they do not belong or in whose territories they do not find themselves. Citizens of a merely minimally legitimate state have the same kinds of obligations: obligations not to undermine its institutions, and to support or assist it in certain circumstances, but no general obligation to obey every law (in the absence of a special relation, for instance, of taking an oath to obey). >Justification, >State, >Duties, >Nation.
