Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws and even state constitutions. Therefore, if a state constitution has a provision that conflicts with the U.S. Constitution, the state provision will not be enforced.
