Treason is separate and worse than "sedition," which involves a conspiracy to upset the operation of the government.
@ohio_cyn 4 is sedition - treason needs actions involving a foreign country
@NorthernInvader thanks for that law dictionary. Imma keep it around. 💯
treason
n. the crime of betraying one's country, defined in Article III, section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." Treason requires overt acts and includes the giving of government security secrets to other countries, even if friendly, when the information could harm American security.
