Treason can include: willful betrayal of one's country; acting against the government; Aiding and abetting enemies of one's country; pPassing along classified information to Another Country; assassination of government leaders. I think it is limited to acts, not speech; except for language inciting rebellion.
In the United States, the constitution restricts the definition of treason "levying war against" the United States and providing "aid and comfort" to its enemies. Proof for conviction requires the testimony of two witnesses "to the same overt act" and the establishment of treasonous intent. Punishment is limited to the person charged, and not automatically the traitor's relatives or heirs.
The constitutional intent was to balance the security of the state with the protection of private property and individual rights. Also to prevent the charge of treason from being used for political repression.
