"That person committed treason and should be put in jail." We hear this a lot lately, but did that person actually commit treason in the eyes of the United States government. Treason is the only crime specifically spelled out in the United States Constitution. This book defines and discusses, in layman's terms, what treason really means in the eyes of U.S. federal law. It also discusses examples of some famous treason cases in United States history, like Benedict Arnold and Tokyo Rose, and explains why some of the people were not found guilty. You can even test your knowledge of treason at the end of the book.
