It's not in the amendments, the enumeration of powers of the legislative, executive and judicial branches are laid out in the first three Articles of the Constitution. There's also Article 6, paragraph 2 declares that the laws of the federal government and the Constitution are the supreme laws of the land. This is referred to as the Supremacy Clause.
Is the supreme law of the land a state constitution?
Yes. Article VI. Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, also known as "The Supremacy Clause," states: "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." So, the Constitution, laws, and treaties are the supreme forms of law in the U.S. legal system. This means that all state courts must fall under the jurisdiction of these before their own laws or constitutions. Basically, the Supremacy Clause asserts the Federal Government's rule over the states.
Which part of the constitution states that federal laws and treaties outweigh states laws?
The part of the Constitution that says federal laws outrank state and local laws is called the "Supremacy Clause". You can find this answer if you go to ask.com and then type in Supremacy Clause. It will then take you to the definition of this clause.

U.S. Const. art. VI, Paragraph 2Under the Supremacy Clause, everyone must follow federal law in the face of conflicting state law. It has long been established that "a state statute is void to the extent that it actually conflicts with a valid federal statute" and that a conflict will be found either where compliance with both federal and state law is impossible or where the state law stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment and execution of the full purposes and objectives of Congress. Edgar v. Mite Corp., 457 U.S. 624, 631 (1982). Similarly, we have held that "otherwise valid state laws or court orders cannot stand in the way of a federal court's remedial scheme if the action is essential to enforce the scheme." Stone v. City and County of San Francisco, 968 F.2d 850, 862 (9th Cir. 1992), cert. denied, 113 S. Ct. 1050 (1993).
