The Supremacy Clause is found in which Article?

• A. Article IV
• B. Article VI
• C. Article II
• D. Article I

Answer: (B)

The central idea here is federal supremacy over conflicting state law. The Supremacy Clause says that the Constitution, federal statutes, and treaties are the supreme law of the land, and judges in every state must follow them even if state laws or constitutions say otherwise. This clause is found in Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which is why the correct answer is Article VI. The other articles deal with different parts of government: Article I covers Congress, Article II the presidency, Article III the courts, and Article IV relations among states.
