Answer 1

Answer:

B. The Supremacy Clause.

Explanation:

The supremacy clause is present in Article VI, Clause 2 of the US Constitution. As the very name of the clause states, it refers to the supremacy that US sanctioned law has. The supremacy clause states that any federal law and any treaty made by the US government has sovereign value anywhere on the planet. That is, the clause states that federal laws and treaties are supreme on earth and for this reason, federal laws should be considered a priority over state laws.
