Question

Under the Constitution, what happens when conflicts arise between state and federal government?

Answer 1

The Supremacy Clause is a clause within Article VI of the U.S.Constitution which dictates that federal law is the "supreme law of the land."

Answer 2

The Federal Law is the supreme law and trumps State Law

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check in the Article VI of the constitution, second clause:

"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."

It clearly states that laws under the authority of the country shall be followed by all in the land.
