how does the supreme court resolve
conflicts between state and federal laws?

Explanation:

The Supremacy Clause establishes the U.S. Constitution, and federal laws made under it, as the supreme law of the land. When state and federal laws conflict, the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution to assess which law aligns with it, determining the validity of the disputed law. The other options are incorrect: conflicting laws cannot coexist without intervention, and the Court does not automatically side with state government.

Answer:

by interpreting the Constitution and determining the validity of the disputed law
