Actually, the beginnings of a Federal over-ride of State laws was proposed by Madison (ironically) as the "Fourteenth Article" in that very BOR:

No State shall infringe the right of trial by Jury in criminal cases, nor the rights of conscience, nor the freedom of speech, or of the press.

Needless to say, said 14th Article was defeated as an excessive degree of Federal control over the state laws.
