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.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
按美国宪法规定,美国人对美国的战争行为(比如叛乱),投靠美国敌人,或者资助、便利敌人,只要有两个人证或者自己承认,就有可能定罪。叛国罪一般处死刑,但实际执行中经常被赦免为终生监禁(最低刑罚为5年监禁)。
按英国普通法,定了叛国罪之后,绑着架子上用马匹从地面上拖到刑场(drawing),然后绞到接近死亡(hanging),然后切鸡鸡(emasculated),开膛破腹,挖出内脏(disemboweled),斩首(beheaded),最后裂成4块(quartered)。全部财产充公(forfeiture),全部转出去的财产产权无效,子孙剥夺从别人那里获得继承权(corruption of blood)。
美国宪法体现了极大怜悯心。仅仅判处普通的死刑或徒刑,而不是活生生地折磨至死。仅仅没收叛国者活着时拥有的财产或处以罚金,不再剥夺子孙从别处继承财产的权利。
民主的叛国好玩吗?
Misprision of treason(对叛国行为知情不报)
Rebellion or insurrection(参与暴乱、暴动)
Seditious conspiracy(阴谋叛乱)
Advocating overthrow of Government(鼓吹推翻政府)
Registration of certain organizations(注册叛乱组织)
Activities affecting armed forces generally (和平时期影响军队的行为)
Activities affecting armed forces during war(战争时期行为)
Recruiting for service against United States(招募叛乱组织成员)
Enlistment to serve against United States(报名参与叛乱组织)
