What is the European Union (EU)? Explain some of the special rights afforded to EU citizens.

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: The European Union is a supranational organization that only offers membership to certain European nations. When nations apply for membership and are accepted, several rights are afforded to them. For example, a citizen of any member country enjoys the freedom to travel to other EU nations. EU citizens are also allowed to work in any other EU nation, meaning that citizens can move freely from country to country for the purposes of acquiring work. Lastly, all EU nations use a common currency: the Euro. The EU currently has 27 member nations, a fully functioning government, a flag, and an anthem.
