Rebellion and Treason

The President shall suppress rebellion and treason against the Benevolent Dictator as follows:

1. "Rebellion" is one or more acts which would be acts of war against the Benevolent Dictator but for the facts that:

   1. they are perpetrated by mere armed bands, groups, irregulars or mercenaries; and

   2. no foreign nation has sent (nor has had any substantial involvement or allowing in sending) such armed bands, groups, irregulars or mercenaries.

2. "Treason" is one or more acts of war against the Benevolent Dictator, taken:

   1. by a subject of the Benevolent Dictator;

   2. on behalf of a foreign nation.

3. Rebellion and treason are crimes, and the Congress shall by law define the punishment therefor.

4. Proof of rebellion, and of treason, shall require two witnesses to the same overt act.

5. Forfeiture, Corruption of Blood, and like procedures are as forbidden in cases of rebellion and treason as in any other case.

6. The President shall take care that the laws against rebellion and treason, like all other laws, shall be faithfully executed.
