The idea that the Constitution is the supreme law of the
land is found only in one article of the Constitution. It is found in Article VI.
Article VI is, in general, concerned with the powers of the federal
government.
In Article VI, we are told that the
Constitution, as well as any laws that are created by Congress in accordance with the
Constitution, will be the supreme law of the land. The exact words of Article VI
are
This
Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance
thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the
United States, shall be the supreme Law of the
Land...
So, the answer to
your question is that it is Article VI that states that the Constitution is the supreme
law of the land.
