Answer
A
violating the Supremacy Clause.
B
violating the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
C
refusing to amend the Constitution.
D
refusing to ratify Constitutional amendments.

Explanation

The Supremacy Clause makes the Constitution and valid federal laws the supreme law of the land. Therefore, a state that refuses to follow a valid federal law violates that clause. The Full Faith and Credit Clause concerns recognizing other states’ laws and legal decisions, not federal authority.
