"Newtons Laws have been superseded by Einstein's theory."

Poor Sir Issac. His laws have been reduced to a theory.
Next thing you know gravity will be just an unproven hypothesis causing us to be flung off the planet. ;)

His laws have been reduced to a theory.

No, his laws are laws. The theory attempts to explain why the law holds. Well, under certain conditions. Einstein discovered that Newton's laws weren't as universal as previously thought. They're still laws, though, because they're not explanatory.

Theories and laws are two different types of statements. Theories do not become laws and laws cannot be "downgraded" to theory. They are not heirarchical.
