Proposed Pledge of Allegiance with explanation.

Written by Mark Shubert

I pledge allegiance to the Constitution

of the United States of America,

and to the Republic ordained by the people,

I give my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor,

to One Union, perpetually indivisible,

with prosperity, security, and liberty to all.

I switched the "flag" to the "Constitution." "ordained by the people" is a reference to the Constitution."I give my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor" is a reference to the Declaration of Independence. "One Union, perpetually indivisible" is a reference to the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution. "prosperity, security, and liberty" is a reference to John Adams' 1776 essay "Thoughts on Government" where he lays out a plan with justification for a trilateral government and a bicameral legislature.
