What is the Supremacy Clause and what is its function?

"This constitution, and states which shall ve made in Pursuance therof; and all treaties made, or which shall ve 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, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the contrary not withstanding."

The Supremacy Clause has been called the "Linchpin of the Constituion" because it has joined teh Natinal Government and States into a single Governmental unit, a federal government.
