Answer 2

The UScitizenship status confers a lot of benefits and privileges to the US citizen. As a way of repaying this, citizens are required to follow certain responsibilities.

• A US citizen should in no way act against the Federal Government and its policies.
• He/she should be ready to render their service to the country when called upon to do so.
• The citizen must pledge his/her allegiance to the nation.

When a person is being naturalized as a US citizen, he/she has to take an oath. This oath is a must and is the pledge of an individual to the country and the US constitution.
