Question

Which clause of the Constitution affirms that the federal government, in exercising any of the powers enumerated in the Constitution, must prevail over any conflicting or inconsistent state exercise of power?

Answer 1

Answer:

Supremacy clause.

Explanation:

The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States is mentioned in Article 4 Clause 2, and it states that federal law takes priority over state laws and even constitutions of States. This forbids states from intervening with the exercise of their constitutional powers by the federal government and from exercising any functions which are assigned exclusively to the federal government.
