Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

 Article VI, Clause 2 of the US Constitution is known as the Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made in accordance with it, and treaties made under the authority of the United States are the supreme law of the land. This means that state laws cannot contradict or supersede these federal laws or the Constitution itself. Judges in every state are bound by this principle, ensuring that federal law is upheld even if it conflicts with state law.
