State versus National Constitutions

The U.S. Constitution and each state's own constitution both create frameworks for government, but they operate at different levels: the U.S. Constitution sets up the national government and its relationship with the states, while a state constitution sets up that state's own government and can grant its residents rights or protections beyond what the U.S. Constitution requires, though never fewer. Where the two genuinely conflict on a power the U.S. Constitution grants nationally, the U.S. Constitution takes priority as the supreme law of the land.
