You don't get to choose which state you belong to as chattel.

  In general I guess you don't exactly get to choose willy-nilly which state you want to belong to, but you can make a choice to trying to get out of your current one, at least usually.

    No you don’t, and that would be the difference. Our system is still remarkably feudal - obligations are assigned at birth and citizenship is an obligation, not a choice. Of course if you’re rich or privileged there are many options.
