Amend Antigua & Barbuda’s Oath of Allegiance


Amend Antigua & Barbuda’s Oath of Allegiance
The Issue
The Oath Of Allegiance in our Constitution states:
I, _________ do swear (or solemnly affirm) that I will faithfully bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and Successors, according to the law. So help me God (To be omitted in affirmation).
Antiguans & Barbudans For Constitutional Reform & Education (ABCRE) proposes that Members of Parliament change our Oath of Allegiance as follows:
“I, ____________, do swear (or solemnly affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Antigua & Barbuda, that I will uphold and defend the Constitution and the laws of Antigua & Barbuda. So help me God. (Omitted in affirmation.)”
Countries like Jamaica have already amended their Constitution to change their oath of allegiance.
Do you think it’s time for us to change our Oath Of Allegiance? If so, join us and sign the petition.
