Some states grade conspiracy the same as the most serious offense that is the conspiracy’s object. 1 Others grade conspiracy lower than the most serious conspired offense and do not criminalize the conspiracy to commit a simple, low-level misdemeanor. 2Another view is to set a separate penalty for the conspiracy to commit specific crimes. 3 It is not unconstitutional to punish conspiracy more severely than the crime conspired. 4
