Why do you think the Founders so carefully defined and limited the act of treason?
Nearly everything we see in the U.S. Constitution was in response to an abuse by the British government. The issue with treason under British rule was that treason was anything that the king did not like. Many personal enemies of the king were executed under "treason." This is why the founding fathers wanted to define and limit the act of treason.
How can one be convicted of treason?
In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more serious acts of disloyalty to one's sovereign or nation. Historically, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife (treason against the king was known as high treason and treason against a lesser superior was petit treason). The government must present testimony of at least two witnesses to the same treasonous act or secure a confession in open court. http://knowinglaw.blogspot.com/
