Chapter 28
LAW. Everyone within the United States is amenable, first to the laws laid down by the Constitution of the United States, secondly to any laws which may be made by Congress, thirdly to state laws, fourthly to county law, fifthly to local ordinances passed by the city or town.
No local ordinance can be enforced if it is contrary to the law of the state, and no state law holds if it is at variance with the Constitution of the United States. The Supreme Court of each state passes upon the constitutionality of all laws made within the state, and the Supreme Court of the United States is the final court of appeal. A law made by Congress is not valid if it is declared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States, nor may any state law be enforced if the Supreme Court of that state considers it unconstitutional. Exclusive of the United States Leading Cities of the World Alexandria, Egypt 383,934 Amsterdam, Netherlands, 564,186 Antwerp, Belgium, 310,903 Bangkok, Siam, 600,000
