The Washington Post describes a social media landscape "littered" with accusations of treason. Politicians and others are making accusations of treason, often for trivial or misguided reasons.
We may think we understand what treason is, but laws are written and are refined through revisions and court cases over time.
Does treason require a formal declaration of war? Would someone need to be a US citizen to be charged with treason in the US? Are there different kinds of treason? To find the answers, it is important to understand the history of treason, and what defines it in a legal sense. In that way we can approximate the way a prosecuting attorney or judge might apply the law. In this sense, we will let you be the judge.
