9f0                         Is perpetrating minor treason a less hangable offense that moderate of major treason.  There are no degrees of treason. https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/treason.htm  - By my reading, half our dang government is guilty of treason.    Levying War Levying war isn’t limited to formally declaring war. It includes any forcible opposition to the execution of a public law. Such “forcible opposition” ordinarily requires actual use of force by multiple people with the common purpose of preventing some law from being enforced. Weapons aren’t always required; sheer numbers can be enough. Merely conspiring to overthrow the government isn’t levying war—there must be an actual assemblage of people who are ready and intend to use force. (But see “Related Crimes,” below.) So, no person acting alone can be guilty of levying war.
