What were the Insular Cases of 1901?
They were a series of cases heard by the Supreme Court from 1901-1904, dealing with how the Constitution and the Bill of Rights should be applied to overseas territories acquired as a result of war or purchase. This was a period when the nation was determined to follow a course of imperialism and become a world power. The idea of obtaining an overseas "empire" seemed to appeal to the populace as evident in the Election of 1900. The Insular Cases took the political arguments of pro and con groups and sided with the pro, echoing the popular feeling at that time. Wikipedia has an article dealing with these cases.

The US Supreme Court is the institution that has extended existing rights and even created new rights by declaring some laws violate Constitutional rights because it is the highest court in the United States.

Is there a clause on Supremacy in the Bill of Rights?
No, the Bill of Rights is the first ten (really eight) Amendments to the US Constitution that enumerate the rights and protections people can expect from the federal - and in many cases, state - government. The Supremacy Clause is in Article VI of the Constitution, and declares the Federal Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land to which all other federal and state laws and treaties must adhere. The supremacy clause doesn't have anything to do with our rights, nor does it declare the United States or its residents to be supreme (or superior) to others. Unfortunately, we often believe we are, anyway.
