Oh. The Constitution says in the text that it is the supreme law of the 
land. If other laws are made that are in conflict with the Constitution, the 
Constitution wins. If the Constitution says "You may not keep women from 
voting", and some state passes a law that says women may not vote, that 
state law is overruled by the supreme law of the land and is unenforcible.
