	United States Constitution - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The U.S. Constitution calls itself the "supreme law of the land." Courts have interpreted this clause to mean that when state constitutions or laws passed by state legislatures or by the national Congress are found to conflict with the federal Constitution, these laws have no force.

		Article Six establishes the Constitution and the laws and treaties of the United States made in accordance with it as the supreme law of the land.
