I want to emphasize two items in this statement that I think are very important to note. First, your reference to the Supremacy Clause is excellent. The second item I want to point out is that you correctly observed that the federal government has enumerated powers and the states have their powers. The problem with the federal government today is that the federal government has exceeded its enumerated powers. The enumerated powers of the federal government are found in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. There are only 17 powers listed in Article 1, Section 8, but the federal government does much more than what is listed here in the Constitution.

Theoretically, as I stated in another post, most of the powers should be with the state governments because the 10th Amendment basically states that the state governments can do everything else that is not listed for the federal government.

The Supremacy Clause does favor the federal government when there are conflicts with state laws. The problem is that the federal government is now in conflict with state laws, but the federal government should not be doing these things in the first place.

Article VI, the Supremacy Clause, states: "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."
