âEspionageâ can be called an act done for oneâs own country whereas âtreasonâ is an act that is done against oneâs own country. But espionage can become treason when the person involved steals valid information from his own country and gives it to another.
In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one's nation or sovereign.[1] Historically, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife or that of a master by his servant. Treason against the king was known as high treason and treason against a lesser superior was petty treason. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.
