Which is more important: aligiance to the USflag or the aligiance to the USconstitution. Why?

Answer 1

Of course a flag is merely a piece of cloth that in a very real sense is no different than ones underwear. It is an easy way for governments to muster patriotic feeling among a group of people who might not be all that inclined toward a deeper patriotic expression of understanding their laws and political structure. The constitution is undoubtedly and unequivocally the reality of a nation. It is the philosophic framework and the true essence of the country. It is the truely hallowed document and not a flag. It takes little effort to wave a flag and feel patriotic. It is the mark of a good compatriot to understand the ideas of a given nation where he happens to reside

Answer 2

allegiance: noun; devotion or loyalty to a person, group, or cause

The flag is a symbol, a reminder of our Constitution, government, society. The Constitution is our law. We are really pledging our allegiance to the constitution. That we will uphold our laws as citizens.

Answer 3

For Americans... they are both the same thing. Allegiance to the flag is allegiance to the country is allegiance to the constitution.

Answer 7

Neither. I have no respect for both. They are nothing except some arbitrary symbols, which represent something other than themselves.
