∙ 15y agoThis would depend on which constitution you speak of. If it is of the specific state's Constitution, then the highest court of that state (typically known as a Supreme Court). If it is of the US Constitution, then the final word is of the US Court. For example, in Roe v. Wade the Supreme Court decided that a Texas law against abortion violated the 14th Amendment.

What is the role of the US Supreme Court in determining the rules of evidence Federal courts and for state courts?
The primary role of the US Supreme Court is interpreting the Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States has the ultimate responsibility for settling disputes and interpreting the meaning of laws. It also determines what national policy will be when it applies law to specific disputes. The Supreme Court, the only court created by the Constitution, has the final say on all legal matters that come to it. It is the highest court in our system and there is no appeal from its decisions unless future courts reverse past court decisions. It is the only court that has the final say on Judicial Review -- that is, the constitutionality of a law or action relevant to a case under its review. It has original jurisdiction over cases involving two or more states, and appellate jurisdiction over cases from lower federal courts and the highest state courts (if the state case addresses a preserved federal question).

What if a state declares a law unconstitutional and void?
If a state court declares a state law unconstitutional, the state will probably appeal the case to the state supreme court. If a state court declares a federal law unconstitutional, the losing party in the case will appeal the decision in the federal courts. The case could ultimately be heard by the US Supreme Court; however, if a lower court reverses the state court's decision and either the appropriate US Court of Appeals Circuit Court or US Supreme Court decline to consider the case, the decision of the lower federal court would be final. The US Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of constitutionality.
