Question

1. a state law is overturned because it conflicts with a federal law. answer:

Explanation:

This situation relates to the principle of federal supremacy in the U.S. legal system, where federal law is supreme over state law when there's a conflict, based on the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The subfield of Law (under Social Science) applies here as it deals with legal principles and the hierarchy of laws.

Answer:

This is an example of the Supremacy Clause in action (from U.S. constitutional law), where federal law is supreme over state law, so a state law conflicting with federal law is overturned.
