The U.S. Constitution trumps any conflicts with state constitutions.
The original Bill of Rights in the US Constitution.
Yes and Yes. The US Constitution applies to all the states. Each state has its own constitution that applies to that state. The state cannot contradict anything in the US Constitution, but they can add things that they feel are missing, or have more stringent requirements for certain things. And the state's constitution sets up and defines the government that will rule the state.
The US Constitution is the founding document of the country. Before that document was approved, however, state governments were made through state constitutions. The state constitutions only applied to the states, however, while the US Constitution applies to the whole nation. For an example, a state constitution will not have articles that deal with foreign treaties or tariffs because the US Constitution gives that power to the federal government. Also, the state may have a constitution that speaks about the death penalty. This will not be found in the US Constitution, as all duties not provided by the federal government belonged to the states. With that said, the US Constitution has an amendment forbidding cruel or unusual punishment. This means that the US states cannot pass death sentence laws that conflict with the US Constitution.
