Incitement to treason by politicians ultimately? Correct — one charged (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sedition

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'incitement to treason' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'politicians ultimately? correct one charged' is the wordplay.
'ultimately?' indicates one should take the final letters (I've seen 'ultimately' mean this).
'correct' becomes 'edit' (edit can mean to correct or emend).
'one charged' becomes 'ion' (type of charged particle).
The last letter of 'politicians' is 's'.
's'+'edit'+'ion'='SEDITION'

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sedition that I've seen before include "Subversive activity" , "incitement to rebel" , "Offence against state" , "Incitement to rebellion" , "Actions promoting disorder" .)
