What was the "Supremacy Clause" in the US Constitution?
- States have general power to legislate in areas that have delegated to the national government
- Makes clear that the Constitution is enforceable as law by judges and is not merely a statement of political or moral rules
- US Congress and all federal laws and treaties are superior to conflicting provisions of state constitutions and laws – this is the principle of national supremacy
- 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
