Answer to Question 1

Answer: Treason involves the aiding and abetting of a countrys enemy by, for example, providing the enemy military secrets or other important information that puts the country at risk. Historically, the terms treason and traitor have been used rather loosely to condemn legitimate dissent falling far short of treacherous conduct. Examples will vary.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: In the United States and other Western nations, crime by government is almost always committed by white men of middle- or upper-class status, if only because privileged white men occupy almost all positions of political power in these societies. It is true that working-class soldiers, police, and other individuals, often nonwhite and occasionally female, carry out repression and other government crimes, but they do so in Western nations under orders from privileged white men.
