Answer:

The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) specifies that the Constitution, federal laws enacted according to it, and treaties enacted under its authority form the "supreme Law of the Land," and so take precedence over any conflicting state laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the United States and its inhabitants are referred to as having the Supreme Law of the Land. It is considered supreme because all other forms of government inside the country, as well as any legislation established by individual states and their local districts, shall not adopt laws that transcend the Federal Government's rights and laws. The federal government grants and defends all of its people' rights, and those rights cannot be infringed upon by any other law that infringes those rights. The supreme law is the ultimate law to which all others are held responsible.
