Question 687 • Career Explorations A

Which accurately describes the Supremacy Clause?

Answer
S
States can violate federal law with a judge’s consent.
N
No state can contradict federal law.
O
Only judges may amend the Constitution.
F
Federal judges may never contradict state laws.

Explanation

The Supremacy Clause makes the U.S. Constitution and valid federal laws supreme over conflicting state laws. A state therefore cannot contradict or override federal law, even if a state judge approves. This makes “No state can contradict federal law” the accurate description; the clause does not give judges the power to amend the Constitution.
