U.S. Constitution - Bill of Rights
Article VI
All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before
the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against
the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
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; and the judges
in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution
or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. The
Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members
of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial
officers, both of the United States and of the several states,
shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution;
but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification
to any office or public trust under the United States.
