Answer 1

Based on the Supremacy Clause from Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, the two statements that accurately reflect its implications regarding the relationship between state and federal laws are:

1. Federal laws take precedence over state laws, ensuring uniformity in legal standards across the country.

2. The Supremacy Clause reinforces the idea that state judges must follow federal law when it conflicts.

The other statements misinterpret the relationship defined by the Supremacy Clause. The federal government does not need to consult with state governments before passing laws, states cannot nullify federal laws, and states cannot create laws that override federal laws.
