Oath

An oath is a solemn pledge (often calling on God or swearing on the Bible) made under a sense of responsibility in attestation of the truth of a statement or in verification of a statement made.
To take an oath, is to swear solemnly; to vow.
Example: "I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
