Article VI of the US Constitution states, in part: "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..." All laws, federal or state, must conform to the Constitution.

A law that violates the constitution is said to be unconstitutional.
A law which conflicts with a constitution is said to be unconstitutional.
Congress cannot declare laws unconstitutional. The Judiciary Branch may declare a law unconstitutional only if it conflicts with some provision of the State or Federal Constitution. The Supreme Court can rule a law to be unconstitutional, but Congress, along with the States, can only amend the Constitution.
Federal law comes first and then state law as said in the constitution.
Any practice or law that violates the constitution is unconstitutional.
The Federal level is higher than the State Level. The US Constitution wins over any State law deemed unconstitutional.
If a state law conflicts with a federal law, the federal law should be followed. This is because the U.S. Constitution establishes federal law as the supreme law of the land, and it takes precedence over state laws in case of a conflict.
The US Constitution takes priority over a common-law decision in one state because it is the supreme law of the land. Any state law or decision that is in conflict with the US Constitution is considered unconstitutional and therefore invalid. Federal law, including the Constitution, supersedes state law in such cases to ensure consistency and adherence to constitutional principles.
In the US Constitution, the Article VI, Section 2, Supremacy Clause declares federal law supersedes state law if the two are in conflict, but it's inaccurate to say the "clause is used to determine if a state law conflicts with federal law." Any part of the Constitution that provides guidelines for a specific law, and applies equally to the state and federal government, may be used to make that determination; the Supremacy Clause simply states if a state law conflicts with federal law, the federal law prevails.
Any state or federal law, executive order or treaty that's relevant to a case under review in a court and operates contrary to the Constitution.
The state laws are overruled by the Federal Laws.
