In foreign policy what is meant by the word preemption?

Pre-emption seeks to stop an action before it can occur, in this case, a military action against a foe before that foe conjures the ability to resist it or to launch its own strike. Pre-emption is not a popular policy among academics due to its many flaws and assumptions but it has tended to resonate with ordinary people due to its simplicity. For example, the US sought to preempt Saddam giving WMDs to al Qaeda by invasion; it was only after that we discovered that not only was Saddam not working with al Qaeda, but he did not have WMDs to give them.


What is federal supremacy and preemption?

Federal supremacy and preemption refers to the idea that all state and local laws must not conflict with federal law. If there is a conflict, the federal law is considered the supreme law and it always supersedes the state or local law. An example would be if there was no state law prohibiting the dumping of toxic waste into a river, but there are federal laws prohibiting water pollution, then the federal law would take precedence and the dumping has to be stopped and the river has to be cleaned up. The only way to effectively overcome federal supremacy is to demonstrate that the federal law is in itself unconstitutional and therefore illegal. In that case, the federal law would be struck down by the court, and the state law would be the authority.
