Did Alexander Hamilton believe the US Constitution was the supreme law of the United States?

Yes he did, as stated in Article VI, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, known as the Supremacy Clause, establishes the U.S. Constitution, U.S. Treaties, and laws made pursuant to the U.S. Constitution, shall be "the supreme law of the land."


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.
