Why is treason considered the most serious crime?
Treason is considered serious because it is a crime against the well-being of a society as a whole. For instance, in a monarchy, betraying the king would be considered treason, because the king IS the government, and a threat to his well-being threatens the nation as it is. In a democracy, betraying a politician would not likely be treason, but betraying the nation as a whole, for instance by leaking military secrets for personal financial benefit, would be. By committing treason, a person willingly commits a crime against a nation and all its people, which is why it is considered so serious.

Why is it that an assassination plot to kill a presidential candidate not considered an act of treason?
Not only is an assassination plot to kill a presidential candidate not considered treason, but an assassination plat to kill the actual president is not treason. Article III Section 1 Clause 1 of the Constitution defines treason this way: "Treason against the United States shall consist only of levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. " The assassination or murder of the person who is a president or candidate for president does not come within that definition. An assassin could argue that the assassination was done because he or she felt that the assassinated president was acting imprudently to the detriment of the country. In other words, the assassin could argue that he was being patriotic to the country by assassinating someone he or she thought would harm the country. In addition, the framers of the Constitution intended that there would be a distinction between the person running the country and the country itself. Treason was defined to be an offense against the country not against the person running the country.
