Answer:

Supremacy Clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supremacy Clause has found its place in Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the constitution of the United States of America. This specifies that the central constitution and, generally speaking, federal law take precedence over state laws and even constitutions of states. This forbids states from intervening with the exercise of their constitutional powers by the federal government, and from taking on any duties that are delegated solely to the federal government.
