Sedition is defined as the crime of inciting rebellion or violence against the governing authority, such as a government or its institutions, through speech, written communication, or conspiracy. It involves an intent to disrupt government operations or cause public disorder, as opposed to merely expressing an opinion or disagreeing with policy. For example, under U.S. federal law (18 U.S. Code § 2384), a conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government through force is a form of sedition. In about 200 words, answer the following questions:  Was the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol sedition? Could President Trump have been found guilty of sedition? What is the test used today that has to be met to find someone guilty of sedition? Fully support your answer with course content since this is worth 5 points.
