Florida Constitution

Question 5 • *NBHS FL-2106010-M/J Civics A

Which statement best describes the US Constitution?

Answer
A
The US Constitution is superior to state law.
B
The US Constitution can never be changed.
C
The US Constitution explains state governments.
D
The US Constitution is not open to interpretation.

Explanation

The Constitution is the supreme law of the United States, so state laws that conflict with it cannot stand. This principle is reflected in the Supremacy Clause. The Constitution can be amended and interpreted, and it primarily establishes the federal government rather than explaining the details of state governments. Therefore, “The US Constitution is superior to state law” is the best description.
