Best Answer

Treason consists of acts to overthrow the government to which one owes fealty, by hostile aggression or material support of enemies. In 1826 the penalty for high treason was the return of the offender from whence he came, where he was hung, cut down alive, entrails cut out and burned before his eyes, his head cut off, body drawn and quartered and the remains disposed of at the King's pleasure (see "Braveheart").

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.
