33. TREASONOUS. That is the correct word.

Treason is also the only crime specifically enumerated in the Constitution. The penalty for treason is death, and that is why the Supreme Court could not rule that the death penalty is unconstitutional. It’s actually spelled out in the Constitution as a penalty for treason (but only for treason). Still, the death penalty must be constitutional, our justices ruled, because it’s actually proscribed in the Constitution as the appropriate penalty for treason.
