Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution
The Supremacy Clause establishes that the federal Constitution, treaties, federal laws, and federal regulations are the supreme law of the land. Federal law takes precedent over state law or local law. Any state or local law that "directly and substantially" conflicts with valid federal law is preempted under the Supremacy Clause.
