Every single CSA state, in their secession statements, indicated that under the Union they had no prior right of sovereignty and that state laws trumped constitutional ones.
Alabama went so far as to schedule a constitutional convention for the CSA in Montgomery on February 4, 1861 before she even seceded.
Tell me, where in the constitution does it say or imply that state laws take precedence over constitutional ones?
