Oath of allegiance
An
oath of allegiance
is an
oath

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
,
Australia
and other
Commonwealth realms
, oaths are sworn to the
monarch
.
