Why
The Oath of Allegiance is the promise applicants make at the naturalization ceremony. The promises include giving up loyalty to other countries, defending the Constitution, obeying the laws, serving in the military or doing important work for the nation if needed, and being loyal to the United States. You only need to give two. Applicants raise their right hand when they take the oath.
