Among these are our right to privacy and our privilege against selfincrimination. The Bill of Rights of our Constitution safeguards these rights for every American citizen. But when a man or woman wants to become an American citizen through the naturalization procedure. these rights are apparently unheard of. Indeed. in order to become an American citizen. you are called upon to incriminate yourself and make public the full details of your private life. Form N400: Application To File Petition for Naturalization. summarizes the naturalization procedures sanctioned by law. This form is a 4page questionnaire which is used in open court for all to hear and question. Purportedly. its purpose is to screen applicants for citizenship. to make sure that we do not grant these rights and privileges to people who may be dangerous to our society.
