This means that the states' constitutions and laws should not conflict with the laws of the federal constitution and that in case of a conflict, state judges are legally bound to honor the federal laws and constitution over those of any state.
Isto significa que as constitucións e as leis dos estados non deben estar en conflito coas leis da Constitución federal -e que en caso de conflito, os xuíces do estado están limitados legalmente a acatar as leis federais e a Constitución por encima das de calquera estado.
