Today, Mr. Schick was not here. We continued to work on our presentation.

Here is what I got

Section 3 of Article III deals with the crime of treason, first by giving us a definition of the crime, then by telling us how the crime will be tried.

• Treason is defined in the Constitution as levying war against the United States, or giving aid to our enemies.
• To be convicted of treason, there must be two witnesses, or that the person committing treason must confess in open court.

Congress has the power to determine the punishment for treason, which ranges from five years in prison and a $10,000 fine, up to life in prison or death.

Why is treason the only crime defined in the Constitution?

• To distinguish between treason and just engaging in dissent
• A free democracy should enable people to have dissents
• To be guilty of treason, they had to take actual action (make war against our government or directly help our enemies).

protects our freedom of speech from being limited.
