In Ware v. Hylton (1796), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a Virginia law, which conflicted with a treaty between the United States and Great Britain, was unconstitutional. The Court held that treaties made under the authority of the United States are the supreme law of the land, as outlined in the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. This case established the principle that state laws cannot supersede federal treaties, reinforcing the authority of federal law over state legislation.
