In your opinion did Aaron Burr commit treason? Please explain your reasoning.

I would have to say that I do not see how Burr's acts
could possibly constitute treason.  They were certainly against the interests of the
United States, but that does not rise to the Constitutional definition of
treason.

The Constitution specifies
that

Treason
against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in
adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and
Comfort.

If this is the
definition of treason, how could Burr have committed treason?  His conspiracy, it seems
to me, was meant to capture land from Spain.  I do not think that he was actually trying
to break off any part of the United States to form his
"empire."

In other, words, I think he was filibustering,
but I do not think that he was engaged in war against the United
States.
