To whom do we show loyalty when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance?

When reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, we are expressing loyalty to the United States. The Pledge serves as a symbol of patriotism and unity, reflecting our commitment to the nation as a whole, its ideals, and its people. It emphasizes the importance of the flag, which represents the freedoms, values, and democratic principles that define the country.

The other options, while significant in their own right, do not embody the broader notion of national allegiance encapsulated in the Pledge. The President is a leader but not the sole focus of our loyalty; the Constitution is the foundational document of laws but representing loyalty to it is more about upholding rights and governance rather than a direct oath of allegiance; the Supreme Court serves as an important arbiter of justice but likewise does not represent the entirety of our national identity and allegiance as does the United States.
