Compare state constitutions and US Constitution?
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.

What caused Tennessee to be a state?
The Tennessee frontier was part of North Carolina. The settlers in Tennessee felt that North Carolina could not govern the region. Therefore the settlers wanted Tennessee to become a state. That also would help the settlers defend themselves from the Cherokee. A convention was held in the Tennessee frontier. Most people wanted statehood. Therefore the convention voted to apply for statehood. A state constitution was written and Tennessee applied to Congress for statehood. Congress approved the application and Tennessee became the 16th state on June 1, 1796.

What does it mean to ratify a law?
Ratification means that something is formally approved so that it can become valid and implemented.However, in the U.S. system of government, the term "ratified" is not usually applied to a "bill", that is, an ordinary piece of legislation. Congress "passes" a bill, after which it must be signed by the President to become law (or, if the President vetoes the bill, Congress may enact it by a 2/3 vote to override that veto)."Ratification" is used for the process of voting by which Congress gives its formal consent to a treaty already negotiated by the executive branch, or state legislaturesvote to approve an amendment the Constitution proposed by Congress. After ratification no further approval (e.g., Presidential signature) is required for the amendment or treaty to take effect.

How does Congress veto a US Supreme Court decision?
Congress cannot override a Supreme Court decision. If the decision interprets the Constitution or an Amendment, Congress cannot override the decision except by calling for a Constitutional Convention to change that provision of the Constitution or Amendment. (Not likely) This would require cooperation from the States, and is not something Congress could accomplish on its own. If the decision interprets a federal law, Congress can amend or replace the law to correct its deficiency. If the Supreme Court interprets both by comparing the law to the Constitution or Amendment to see if the law is constitutional and decides the law is unconstitutional because it is vague or can be applied in a discriminatory manner, Congress can amend the law in such a way that the Constitutional problem is solved. Technically, this is not "overriding" the decision, but it is one way Congress can make a law do its intended purpose without being unconstitutionally vague about the subject and purpose. Other than that, only the Supreme Court can overturn its own precedent.
