(1) One of the fundamental strengths of the 
United States is a shared commitment to certain 
principles of democracy, freedom, and national 
unity, and this commitment is reinforced periodically 
by certain officially recognized rituals and practices, 
including the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance 
and the singing of the national anthem. One purpose 
of these officially recognized rituals is national unity. 
That goal is expressed in the Pledge of Allegiance as 
‘‘one nation under God, indivisible’’ in section 4 of 
title 4, United States Code. 
(2) The recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance is 
one of these officially recognized national unity rit-
uals. Congress recognized the Pledge of Allegiance in 
law in 1942 in section 4 of title 4, United States 
Code, and Federal law prescribes certain methods 
for reciting and recognizing the Pledge of Allegiance 
in English. 
(3) Another officially recognized national unity 
ritual is the recitation or singing of the national an-
them. Inspired by the sight of the American flag still 
waving at Fort McHenry after 25 hours of continual 
bombardment by British forces, Francis Scott Key 
wrote the words of the Star-Spangled Banner in 
English in 1814. In 1931, Congress declared that
