provides that:

“The United States shall guarantee

to every State in this Union

a Republican Form of Government . . .”

"A Republic, ma'am if you can keep it."

When

the Pledge of Allegiance

is recited,

is the pledge made,

to America?

or to

“the United States of America”?

and is the

United States of America

The name of the confederacy entered into

by the Articles of Confederation?

Or a government created under

the Constitution

for the United States of America?

“to the Flag

of

The United States of America

“And to the republic

 for which it stands . . .”

This is a pledge of allegiance

to the government

created by the

Constitution for

the United States of America.

The Constitution for the United States of America 

did not create America.
