The Constitution is the supreme law of the land in the United States. According to Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, "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, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding"
. This means that the Constitution takes precedence over all other laws, including those made by state governments, and judges are required to follow it.
