The Constitution SUPERSEDES any other law. That is why it is the supreme law of the land.

"Any" other law? The Framers would laugh at that statement. Unalienable rights are God-given under natural law. They cannot be taken away by democracy. Hence, natural law is the underpinning of all Constitutional law and most certainly is not superseded. We live in a Republic, not a Democracy. Our God-given rights are inalienable.

The problem with reliance on natural law is that there is no codified natural law. Some Americans at the founding would have said that they have the natural law right to own property, including slaves. Likewise, King George felt he had the natural law right to rule America.
