Polk was very anxious to purchase California from Mexico, and he knew that Mexico would refuse to give it up. He thought there was no time to be lost, as he feared that England would seize it as a strong point on the Pacific, the wisest course was what we would now call "eyeball" diplomacy — staring hard at the opponent and expecting him to blink first. This technique was beginning to work with England, and Polk had no doubt that it would also work with Mexico.

OWhich of the following statements most accurately describes the supremacy clause?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The Supremacy Clause states that the Constitution is above all state and federal laws.

Explanation:

The Supremacy Clause is located in the second clause of Article VI of the Constitution. It basically states that the Constitution of the United States, as well as the laws and treaties adopted by the federal government, constitute the supreme law of the nation. This means that the states of the United States are not sovereign but only the federal government, and that, as a last resort, it is always the authority of the Union which takes precedence over the constitution and the laws of each of the States of the Union.
