WHAT DOES OATH OF ALLEGIANCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

oath of allegiance

Oath of allegiance

An oath of allegiance is an oath wherby a subject or citizen acknowledges a duty of allegiance and swears loyalty to monarch or country. In republics, modern oaths specify allegiance to the country in general, or to the country's constitution. For example, officials in the United States, a republic, take an oath of office that includes swearing allegiance to the United States Constitution. However, in a constitutional monarchy, such as in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, oaths are sworn to the monarch. In feudal times a person would also swear allegiance to his feudal superiors. To this day the oath sworn by freemen of the City of London contains an oath of obedience to the Lord Mayor of the City of London. Oaths of allegiance are commonly required of newly naturalised citizens, members of the armed forces, and those assuming public office. Clergy in the Church of England are required to take an Oath of Supremacy acknowledging the authority of the British monarch.
