  5. Section III • Clause 1 • The constitution states," Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." This means that treason against the United States is starting war against them or helping their enemies. • A person can only be convicted of treason if there are 2 witnesses or if they confess to treason. • Clause 2 • Congress has the power to decide the punishment for treason. • The worse punishment for treason is death

  6. Which one we think is most important? Section 1 is the most important: • Basis for the rest of the article • Sets up two levels of courts: Supreme and Inferior courts • Ensures the judges will be impartial by assuring they will not lose pay as a result of their verdict.

  7. Constitutional Principles • The Judicial Branch interprets the laws the legislative branch makes and the executive branch enforces. • The judicial keeps both the legislative and the executive branch in check, by having the power to call their actions unconstitutional.
