What law takes priority if a state constitution amendment conflicts with the US Constitution?
The U.S. constitution takes priority as set forth in the Supremacy Clause (Art. VI, Cl. 2):"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
What is the Supremuacy Clause in the constitution?
The Supremacy Clause refers to Article VI, paragraph 2 in the Constitution which states "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." Basically, Federal Law and the Constitution are the supreme law, and any other laws which contradict them are void.
Which Amendment declares the Constitution the supreme law of the land?
None of the Amendments make that statement; Article VI, Clause 2 (the Supremacy Clause), part of the original body of the Constitution that predates the Amendments declares the Constitution and federal laws and treaties made in accordance with the Constitution are the supreme law of the land. In other words, Constitution, federal laws and treaties can overrule state and local laws.Article VI, Clause 2 (Supremacy Clause)This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

Article 1, section 1 of the United States constitution states who has the power to make laws. In the United States, laws are made in the legislative branch of government.
