17. How does Article VI of the Constitution resolve possible conflicts between state laws
and federal laws?

Article VI of the constitution resolve possible conflicts between state laws and federal laws. A federal court may require a state to stop certain behaviors that interfere or conflicted with federal law. The supremacy clause of the constitution of the United State establish that the constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the supreme law of the land and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws. It dictates that federal law is the ultimately supreme law of the land. This denotes that judges in every state in the United state must follow the federal constitution, laws and treaties in matters which are directly or indirectly within the government control.

For example if the United state passes a law that promising to preserve and to protect immigrants of a certain race , state C intend to tax the certain race located within its territory, under the supremacy clause of the US, state C may not tax a federally recognized immigrant from that race because doing so would violate the interest in which the United State has promised to protect.
