The Supremacy Clause, also known as the "supremacy clause of the Constitution" or "federal supremacy clause," is a provision in Article VI, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution. It establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the supreme law of the land, and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws or regulations. This means that state judges are bound to uphold federal law when there is a conflict between federal and state law.
