the last four articles of the Constitution, just to recap: 
all provisions speak directly relationships of the nation, its branches, its citizens and states, and 
no provision does not address both the nation, its branches, its citizens and the states.
 Article IV. has four sections, all relating to states and the nation, states and the national Congress or the states and the nation’s citizens. 
 Article V. describes how the people in the states can effect an Amendment to the central government without the national Congress, President or Supreme Court, and there can be no change in the Constitution of the central government without the people in three-fourths of the states. 
 Article VI. Specifies all officers of government, state and national, shall swear to uphold the Constitution. The Constitution and ratified treaties are the supreme law of the land and both national and state judges are bound by it, state laws “to the contrary notwithstanding.” All debts contracted in the states under the Articles of Confederation are enforceable in the Constitution’s courts. 
 Article VII. Ratification by the “we the people” in the states create the central government, the requirement being nine, initially eleven, in two years, unanimously.
