Which document contains a promise to defend the Constitution when becoming a citizen?

• A. To defend the U.S. Constitution
• B. To defend the Declaration
• C. To defend the Bill of Rights
• D. To defend the Magna Carta

Answer: (A)

When someone naturalizes as a citizen, they take an oath to support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States. This pledge is directly tied to the U.S. Constitution, the foundational framework you commit to uphold. The Declaration of Independence, while historically important, is not what the oath asks you to defend. The Bill of Rights are amendments to the Constitution, not the standalone promise in the oath, and the Magna Carta has no role in the U.S. naturalization process. So the best choice is defending the U.S. Constitution, the document referenced by the oath.
