Supremacy Clause
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Progressingamerica (talk | contribs) at 00:51, May 5, 2017. It may differ significantly from current revision.
The Supremacy Clause states that judges and any other seat of authority in a state are bound to follow the Constitution, the laws of the United States and any treaties made under the authority of the United States, as in the Supreme Court and Continental Congress. Any rule of any state is null if contrary to these laws.
The text of the clause is as follows:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
