The supremacy clause (Article VI) established that the national government was supreme within its sphere. Lawful congressional acts took precedence over state law. States could not threaten or impede the national government in exercising its constitutional power. So, because the power to tax “involved” the power to destroy, Maryland's tax was unconstitutional.
