Letter B is the correct answer.

The graduate is correct when she refuses to take the oath saying ithe oath is unconstitutional. She is correct because even though government employees are expected to support the Constitution and to oppose the violent, illegal or unsconstitutional overthrow of the government, they are NOT required to promise respect for the flag. In fact, a person can refuse to salute the flag for religious reasons.

Answer from: coolestkid2401

The correct answer is B

B yes, as to the promise to respect the flag.

Explanation:

The graduate is very correct as to the promise to respect the flag, but totally incorrect in respect to other promises. According to the constitution of the United States, government employees are required to oppose the violent overthrow of the government. This section of the constitution was upheld by the Supreme Court. For this reason, (A) AND (B) are incorrect. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court rules that government employee cannot be compelled to show respect for the flag. It further ruled that a person might decide not to salute the flag based on religious affiliation.

Further explanation

To stand for the flag has a lot of reasons.

To stand for the flag is to respect and honor those who paid the for freedom To stand for the flag is not to particularly pay attention to what divides rather what unites. To stand for a flag is not to pledge an allegiance to the president but to honor the fact that the society has a president who is freely chosen by a voting system and not a life president. To stand for the flag is to salute the principle of justice.

Nevertheless, a person can still choose not to salute the flag base on what the constitution says. Respect for the flag is solely an act of patriotism.
