Answer:

Constitution, because of the supremacy clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Constitution, federal laws in general are the "Supreme Law of the Land" in the United States. They take priority over states laws and constitutions. This is the Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2). It prohibits states from interfering with the federal government´s exercise of its constitutional powers.
