Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution establishes that the Constitution, federal laws, and treaties are the "supreme law of the land". It also requires all federal and state officials, including legislators and judges, to take an oath to support the Constitution, and it prohibits any religious test for public office. Key provisions of Article 6: Supremacy Clause: This clause declares that the Constitution, federal laws made in pursuance of it, and treaties are the supreme law of the land. This means federal law overrides conflicting state laws, and judges in every state are bound by this supreme law. Oath of Office: All members of Congress, state legislators, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, must take an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution. No Religious Test Clause: This part of Article 6 explicitly states that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the United States. Validation of Prior Debts: Article 6 also validates all debts and engagements entered into before the adoption of the Constitution.
