"A state is not allowed to tax federal money because federal law is superior."

This illustrates the Supremacy Clause (Article VI) — federal law takes precedence over state law. A classic case applying this principle is McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), which held that states cannot tax or interfere with valid federal institutions.
