Article VI Supremacy Clause
The Articles of Confederation SHOULD be the final authority, tht is what I've heard, but im not positive, look it up in a U.S. History Text BookThat must be a really OLD history book. The US Constitution is the "final authority." (The Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation more than 200 years ago.)
When the Supreme Court issues a ruling, there is no further avenue of appeal. That makes them the final authority.
The Judicial Branch of government is vested with the authority to interpret the Constitution and ensure that laws adhere to the spirit and letter of the Constitution. It is also responsible for determining how a laws are interpreted and applied.As the highest court in the nation, the US Supreme Courtis the ultimate authority on the interpretation of laws and the Constitution.However, through the system of checks and balances, the Supreme Court does not have the final say on what the Constitution is. The Congress, with the several States, has the authority to amend (change) the Constitution, thus potentially overturning a Supreme Court decision. This is a difficult and time-consuming thing to accomplish and so is not often done.

It gives congress rights over decisions of the Executive branch. Congress usually defers. There is a difference between being the final authority and having common sense.
