oath of allegiance, prescribed in article 4 of the
Anglo‐Irish treaty for members of the
Irish Free State parliament. In form it differed from that of the other dominions: ‘faith and allegiance’ were sworn primarily to the constitution; fidelity to the king was sworn by virtue of common citizenship with Britain and membership of the
Commonwealth. Despite these modifications, the oath was the treaty provision most resented by opponents. Attempts were made to exclude it from the draft
constitution but after pressure from British ministers it was incorporated into article 17. Following the
Electoral Amendment Act (1927),
de Valera was forced reluctantly to take the oath and enter the
Dáil. When he came to power in 1932 he immediately introduced a bill to abolish the oath, which contributed to the start of the
Economic War. Rejected by the
Senate, the bill became law in 1933.
