Compare state constitutions and US Constitution?
The US Constitution is the founding document of the country. Before that document was approved, however, state governments were made through state constitutions. The state constitutions only applied to the states, however, while the US Constitution applies to the whole nation. For an example, a state constitution will not have articles that deal with foreign treaties or tariffs because the US Constitution gives that power to the federal government. Also, the state may have a constitution that speaks about the death penalty. This will not be found in the US Constitution, as all duties not provided by the federal government belonged to the states. With that said, the US Constitution has an amendment forbidding cruel or unusual punishment. This means that the US states cannot pass death sentence laws that conflict with the US Constitution.
Are state constitutions subordinate to the US Constitution?
No, a state constitution cannot override the United States Constitution. For example, if a certain state decided that they would outlaw guns completely, the federal courts would overrule that based on the second and fourteenth amendments to the US Constitution.
Do house policies overrule provincial legislation?

Provincial legislation sets the legal framework that must be followed by all individuals and organizations within the province, including houses or residences. House policies may provide additional guidelines or rules specific to the house, but they cannot contradict or supersede provincial laws.
Does each state in the United States of America have its own constitution or is there one constitution that governs all the states of the US?
Yes and Yes. The US Constitution applies to all the states. Each state has its own constitution that applies to that state. The state cannot contradict anything in the US Constitution, but they can add things that they feel are missing, or have more stringent requirements for certain things. And the state's constitution sets up and defines the government that will rule the state.

Clause 2 of Article VI of the U. S. Constitution is known as the Supremacy Clause because it declares the U. S. Constitution, all federal laws made pursuant to the U. S. Constitution and all treaties made under the authority of the U. S. Constitution to be the supreme law of the United States, outweighing any state law or state constitution.
What is the difference between the Missouri constitution the US Constitution?
The U.S. Constitution is remarkably brief. The original constitution ratified by the 13 states (or colonies, if you prefer) contained a mere 4,426 words. The addition of the Bill of Rights brought the total to just 5,033 words. The addition of another 17 amendments since the BoR has brought the total up to 7,620 words. As far as I know, every state constitution is more verbose. The U.S. Constitution is strong on WHAT to do and WHAT NOT to do but provides remarkably little guidance on HOW to do it. Most state constitutions all have a common flaw: they try to address too many topics and provide too many mandates for what to do and HOW to do it, frequently with excruciating detail. Constitutions should provide a basic framework for government and establish the range of what the state government can and cannot do. Unfortunately, they are frequently used as a legislative tool. Specific laws that implement and instantiate constitutional guidelines should be left for regular legislation, not captured in constitutions.
