Translation help for immigration document
Can help translate this document for me? It is the immigration request ? for permission to immigrate to America made by Johannes Jäck on behalf of himself and four of his children. There is a note concerning his wife at the bottom and maybe their other children? He and his wife Johanna Friderica Stäudle (b 1792) had 7 children total. Two of the children diee, one as an infant and the other as a toddler. The oldest remained in Germany. I haven't found a death record for Johanna Friderica so don't know if she died in Germany before the family left, came with them, or stayed behind with their oldest child, Johanna Christiana.
Any help would be appreciated. There are two images, the front page of the document and the back page that I think finishes the statement on the bottom of the front page and shows the signatures of the children.
The images are taken from a microfilm located in the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake Film #: 556838

Yes, this is the document in which Johannes Jäck and his family renounce their citizenship rights in the city of Kirchheim and the kingdom of Württemberg.
Here is the translation:
The undersigned Johannes Jäck, bricklayer, who intends to emigrate to North America and settle down there, confesses by the present document that in this intention he knowingly and deliberately renounces his previous municipal citizenship in Kirchheim and any kind of civil association with the Württemberg state for himself and his children
- Johann Georg Christian born July 2, 1824
- Johann Georg born September 13, 1826
- Maria Louise born March 26, 1832
- Johannes born January 2, 1839
At the same time, he undertakes not to serve against His Majesty the King and the Kingdom of Württemberg for a period of one year from the date of his departure, and for the same period acknowledge all claims that may still be raised against him before the authorities of the Kingdom after his departure, by providing Andreas Jäck Bauer as guarantor for the fulfillment of this obligation.
