Constitution Index
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.
