  AFFIRMATION, practice. A solemn declaration and asseveration, which a
  witness makes before an officer, competent to administer an oath in a like
  case, to tell the truth, as if be had been sworn.
       2. In the United States, generally, all witnesses who declare
  themselves conscientiously scrupulous against taking a corporal oath, are
  permitted to make a solemn affirmation, and this in all cases, as well
  criminal as civil.
       3. In England, laws have been enacted which partially relieve persons
  who, have conscientious scruples against taking an oath, and authorize them
  to make affirmation. In France, the laws which allow freedom of religious
  opinion, have received the liberal construction that all persons are to be
  sworn or affirmed according to the dictates of their consciences; and a
  quaker's affirmation has been received and held of the same effect as an
  oath. Merl. Quest. de Droit, mot Serment, Sec. 1.
       4. The form is to this effect: "You, A B, do solemnly, sincerely, and
  truly declare and affirm," &c. For the violation of the truth in such case,
  the witness is subject to the punishment of perjury as if he had been sworn.
       5. Affirmation also means confirming; as, an affirmative statute.
