In Minnesota citizenship is implied (5)
I believe the answer is:
tacit
'is implied' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'in minnesota citizenship' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TACIT' is hidden within 'minnesota citizenship'.
(Other definitions for tacit that I've seen before include "Understood without being directly expressed" , "Aircraft engine casing" , "Implicit, unspoken" , "Implied or understood, not put into words" , "Silent but implied" .)
