I noticed a number of U.S. states have laws against "treason against the state of XXX", including it being a capital offense in some.

I have two questions:

- How do you define a treason against state?
- Any instances of it being enforced, especially in more recent times?

Impressive research, Dereich.

I understand Door's case, but I'm puzzled why Brown was convicted of treason. I mean, did he owe Virginia an allegiance or something?
