Affrmation and Sworn
"Affirmation" and "sworn" are legal terms often used in the context of making a formal promise or statement. 1. Affirmation: An affirmation is a solemn and formal declaration or assertion made in place of an oath. It is used when a person needs to confirm the truth of a statement but prefers not to swear an oath, often for religious or ethical reasons. An affirmation has the same legal effect as an oath. 2. Sworn: The term "sworn" refers to a statement or promise that has been made under oath. This means the person has formally promised to tell the truth, usually in a legal setting such as a court of law, and understands the legal consequences (such as the crime of perjury) if they are found to be lying. A sworn statement or affidavit is a written document in which the writer swears under oath that the statements in the document are true.
