The Supremacy Clause is a part of Article 7 of the United States Constitution. The clause explicitly states that the laws of the national government of the United States are the supreme law of the country, ranking above the laws of any member state.

Text of the Supremacy Clause

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
