<h3>Can a state override a federal law?</h3>
The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution is Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution.
The Supremacy Clause means that the federal constitution and laws take precedence over state laws and constitutions.
<h3>Answer Options:</h3>
A. Nevada doesn’t have the authority to override federal law. Federal law stands supreme. Yet, the force of widespread public acceptance and general use of marijuana has made it difficult to enforce federal law. We also saw this effect during Prohibition in the 1920s – which showed that even constitutional law has limits if a substantial part of the population does not support that law.
B. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has the statutory authority to allow exceptions to federal drug laws.
C. States have precedence over federal authorities on matters of recreational drug use.
D. The executive authority of the governor of Nevada makes such laws exceptions to federal prohibitions. By virtue of signing the legislation making marijuana legal, Governor Brian Sandoval’s executive authority gave pot’s legal possession precedence over federal law.

Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states that "Congress shall have the power to regulate Commerce with foreign nations and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes", determining that Indian tribes were separate from the federal government, the states, and foreign nations; and
