Summary/Abstract: The oath, as the last solemn formality in order to exercise a public office or dignity, is always taken by the person who, previously, went through a certain specific procedure, in order to fulfil that position. Therefore, the oath shall be taken in person, in an official setting, in public and only by a natural person, before the exercise of the function or mandate begins. The present study proposes a comparative legal analysis of this subject in order to capture the way in which the oath is reflected in the Constitutions of several states within the executive power, regardless of the form of government. Thus, regardless of the title under which the head of state, President or Monarch is mentioned in the Constitution, the analysis will capture the perspective of the legislator from different geographical areas, with different values and traditions, on the oath of the person holding the most important public dignity in the state. The conclusions we reached as a result of studying the proposed bibliography are at the end of the study.
