If any other laws is inconsistent with the provisions of the constitution, then the constitution shall prevail, while such laws shall be declared null and void.

Concurrent powers under the 9th Amendment : This is the powers given by the constitution to federal government and states government to legislate on certain issues .but in order to eliminate crisis and confusion in the event of any conflict arising as a result of interest between the state and federal laws on these issues, then the federal laws take pre- eminence over those of state. For example issues such as education, health, sports and so on.

Due process powers under the 14th Amendment : This is the powers which states that citizens fundamental human right such as right to life, right to dignity of human persons, right to personal liberty and so on shall not be taken away from them except by following the due process stipulated by the constitution for such right to be deprived.
