question 20 options:

local government

national government

state government

Correct  

Explanation:

The Supremacy Clause ensures that the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land and the foundation of government. The Supremacy Clause establishes that the US Constitution is above any state law enacted or other law that is passed.  Any other laws and government actions must be in accordance with the nation's Constitution.

The Supremacy Clause is the second clause of Article VI of the Constitution. It is stated as follows:

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.
