A constitutional law review on the treason clause, “An “Assemblage” of Opinions: How the Counterpoint of the Roberts Court’s Second Amendment Cases Fixed Inadvertencies in John Marshall’s Treason Doctrine” was published by the Rutgers Law Record by Rutgers Law School. Read an excerpt below.
“The Constitution’s Treason Clause plainly provides only two types of treason—levying of war and aiding of the enemy. It states: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.” Because treason is the sole crime that was viewed with such importance, so as to be included in America’s Constitution, its meaning is uniquely and particularly important.”
