Who would speak the text above, and in what situation?

Answer 1

A person becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen who is taking the Oath of Allegiance

Answer 2

Whoever spoke the above text would be a foreigner who is applying to receive US citizenship.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above text must be obligatorily recited by every foreigner who is applying to be an American citizen. The text is recited during a formal ceremony, which naturalizes the foreigner as a US citizen, allowing him to participate in all the rights and privileges that the US can provide its people, but also the citizenship obligations that the foreigner must follow.
