The main reason why the Constitution dealt specifically with the crime of treason was that:

A. The framers wanted to prevent all treason in order to protect the democracy.
B. Treason was not considered a serious crime before the Constitution was written.
C. Treason was a crime against country, not against individuals.
D. The framers knew the charge of treason could be used for political reasons.

C would be my answer. Is it right?

Yes, your answer is correct. The main reason why the Constitution dealt specifically with the crime of treason was that treason was considered a crime against the country, not against individuals. The framers of the Constitution understood that treason was a grave offense that threatened the security and stability of the newly formed nation. By including a specific definition and provision for treason in the Constitution, they sought to clearly establish treason as a punishable crime and protect the nation from internal threats.

I STRONGLY SUPPORT "C". THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST COUNTRY, THEREFORE IT NEEDS TO BE HANLED SEPARATELY MANAGED B/W BOTH COUNTRIES INVOLVED.
