What is the relationship between federal law and state law, and how is federal law prioritized over state law?
Federal law is the supreme law of the land in the United States, meaning it takes precedence over state laws. This principle, known as federal supremacy, is established in the U.S. Constitution. When there is a conflict between federal and state laws, federal law prevails. This ensures uniformity and consistency in the application of laws across the country.

What happens in the federal system if a state law conflicts with a national law?
The federal law overrides the state law. The federal government is the "supreme law of the land," meaning that whatever it says goes. For example, a state can pass a law stating that everything has to wear blue jeans on Tuesday. However if the federal government passes a law that everyone has to wear red pants on Tuesday, then everyone in that state and the rest of the country has to wear red pants on Tuesday.
Does state law or federal law have the final power?
The short answer is that the United States Constitution is the law of the land, and any law, including state law, that is not consistent with the US Constitution is superseded by the US Constitution. There is something called the Supremacy Clause, which means that all inconsistencies between federal and state law must be resolved in favor of federal law, but then the lawyers and courts argue whether the federal law in question was intended to supersede and preempt, or to just add to state law. Is the state law really and truly inconsistent, or just a little. :) If state law says you can manufacture WIDGET A, for example, and federal law says you cannot, then federal law will control, because that is a direct conflict. But if state law says you can manufacture Widget A, and federal law says you can manufacture Widgets A, B and C, but you must comply with certain requirements, or you must manufacture them all together but not individually, then state law is not superseded...it is just ... clarified a bit, if you get my meaning.
