You are still confused about the Supremacy clause. State constitutions and state laws are supreme where the US Constitution has not been delegated authority.

It is not I who am confused.  Rather your quotes make my point for me.  In all cases where states seceded from the Union, they made the constitution subordinate to state laws.

Where in the constitution does it indicate that state laws take precedence over constitutional ones?

State laws don't -- even if someone thought they did, and said so, erroneously.

But the People can, and did.

Where in the Constitution does it indicate that state laws/acts are subservient to non-existant federal laws?
