As I stated, constitutional scholars, cannot agree to the meaning, so it is pointless for me to argue the meaning.
Constitutional scholars, do not agree on the meaning of the second admendment, and many don't agree on the meaning of the first admendment.
It would have been less ambiguous if it would have been written as:
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt acts as outlined above, or on confession in open court of the acts as outlined above.
