That would be the section of the constitution that gave the federal constitution and federal law supremacy, and the part that required states to resolve differences at the Supreme Court.

The people are sovereign. State governments are one of the instruments that represents and implements the people’s sovereignty, just as the federal government is another instrument that represents and implements sovereignty.

Wrong on all counts.

First, Article VI is defined by the “pursuance thereof” phrase. ONLY the laws “in pursuance thereof” are the Supreme Law of the land. Might want to check your facts friend. Also, the Supreme Court is NOT the final arbiter, again, you might want to check the 9th and 10th Amendment. Marshall claiming judicial review does not make it sacrosanct. Geeez!

Second, We the People in the aggregate did NOT ratify the Constitution...might want to check that out as well. Maybe you should start with tiny Rhode Island and look at how they ratified the Constitution. You’ll see it wasn’t in the aggregate. Answer this, who created the federal government, the People of the States? Hmmm...why would I ask that now?

Keep bowing at the alter of DC. As for me, I’ll be working with the States to force the “men of mischief” back into the “chains of the Constitution.” If that fails, then the unalienable right to free association is next...hint, that means secession. I’ll let you keep focus on DC. Good luck.
