By meeting with each other in order to create a new type of government, these people were basically trying to overthrow the government, which was the Articles of Confederation at that time. They had to keep it a secret even though each state knew that they were there in order to do so, legally, the states did not know if it could be done. They had to make an oath of secrecy.

Do nuns ever cut their hair?

no one knows and the nuns are sworn to secrecy.


Is sworn a noun?

No The way to tell a noun is if it can be preceded by an article (the, a, an). You cannot say 'the sworn' or 'a sworn' by itself. The statement could be 'sworn to secrecy' in which case the whole phrase seems adjectival. Sworn itself is the imperfect tense of 'to swear'.
