Pronunciation: 'trE-z&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English tresoun, from Old French traison, from Latin tradition-, traditio act of handing over, from tradere to hand over, betray -- more at TRAITOR
1 : the betrayal of a trust : TREACHERY
2 : the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family
Also, Article Three of the United States Constitution defines treason as only levying war against The United States or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort and requires the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court for conviction.
I was wondering about the meaning of giving aid and comfort to their enemies.
