The sovereignty of the states is the language of the confederacy and not the language of the constitution. the latter contains the emphatic words. 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, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding
