Answer :

The conflict at hand is a State law versus a Federal law (National rights vs. state rights)

The question is then basically asking,

  • Part 1: What laws support State laws > (trumping) Federal laws (in other words, that states have rights independent of federal laws)
  • Part 2: What laws support Federal laws > (trumping) State laws (in other words, that Congress has rights that trump state laws).
