The Constitution is the basis for all federal law in this country. There are those that would say that income tax is unconstitutional because a direct tax is specifically prohibited by the Constitution and the amendment that was supposed to fix this was not properly ratified. I agree, it's based on what I've read. It's a complicated issue and you're going to have to study on that one. Please do so, it's important. Specifically, the 16th amendment was never ratified by enough states (36) to make it legal. Further, the Federal Income Tax is an Un-apportioned Direct Tax. By the Constitution: The Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States. Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers. No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken. Tax of Labor is therefore illegal.

Federal law trumps state law. (Federal agencies may choose not to aggressively enforce the law, especially in states where marijuana has been decriminalized, but that's a separate issue.)

What is an example federal?
it is like if one state makes a law an other state does not have to allow itA good example is the United States. The Federal level is composed of the President, the Congress, and the Supreme Court. While Federal Laws do not automatically trump what the states do, they can if state law conflicts with Federal law. This is why slavery and segregation are no longer legal... the Federal government has forbidden the states to have laws allowing for it. Nor can states print their own money or set up tolls on borders to other states.
