Question

question 5 of 10
article vi of the constitution, which includes the supremacy clause, ensures that:
a. state laws are respected by the federal government.
b. the process of amending the constitution remains clear.
c. federal laws are always superior to state laws.
d. the judicial branch is structured to be efficient.

Explanation:

Article VI of the U.S. Constitution contains the supremacy clause, which establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties are the supreme law of the land. This means federal law takes precedence over conflicting state laws. Options A is incorrect because the clause prioritizes federal over state laws, B refers to amendment processes not in Article VI, and D relates to judicial structure not covered by the supremacy clause.

Answer:

C. federal laws are always superior to state laws.
