Allegiance

Allegiance is like saying you promise to be loyal and faithful to something or someone. Imagine if you have a best friend and you promise to always be their friend and do things with them. That's like having allegiance to your friend. In the same way, some people might have allegiance to their country or a leader. They promise to support and be faithful to them. When you pledge allegiance, like when you say the Pledge of Allegiance in school, you are promising to be loyal to your country and everything it represents. It's like making a promise to always be a good citizen and help make your country a better place.
