Ron Chernow Quote

Would a treaty ratified by Congress trump state law? Could the judiciary override the legislature? And would America function as a true country or a loose federation of states? Hamilton left no doubt that states should bow to a central government: It must be conceded that the legislature of one state cannot repeal the law of the United States.
