it states that the constitution shall be the supreme law of the land

U.S. Const., Art. VI:

"All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation. 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, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

Perhaps it says these four things:

1. That the United States as constituted by and under the United States Constitution undertakes to repay the previous Confederation's debts, subject to the provisions of the Constitution;

2. That the United States as constituted by and under the United States Constitution undertakes to honor the obligations of the previous Confederation, subject to the provisions of the Constitution;

3. That the United States Constitution is supreme law of the land, including international Treaties lawfully and constitutionally entered into;

4. That U.S. State court judges are specifically subject to the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution--even where State Constitutions are contrary.
