No Treason is a series of three numbered essays written and published by Lysander Spooner between 1867 and 1870. No Treason: No. 1 (1867) deals with the implications of government by consent. No Treason: No. II: The Constitution (1867) examines the preamble of the United States Constitution and the definition of "treason" given in Article III. The better known No Treason: No. VI: The Constitution of No Authority was published in 1870, noting it was "in advance of" the third through fifth issues (which ended up not being published afterwards). No. VI argues that the Constitution cannot have authority or impose obligations on people currently living in the United States and discusses arguments about voting or the payment of taxes, denying those acts imply voluntary consent.
