	United States Constitution - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		The Constitution divides the defense responsibility between the legislative and executive branches: Congress alone has the power to declare war and to appropriate funds for defense, while the president is commander-in-chief of the armed forces and bears primary responsibility for the defense of the country.
		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.
