A proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution to guarantee the Constitution is supreme.
The Supremacy of the Constitution Amendment (SOTCA)

Section 1. The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land.

Section 2. No law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or other provision of law shall be in conflict with the Constitution of the United States.

Section 3. This amendment shall take effect immediately upon ratification by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states.

This amendment would make it clear that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and that no other law or regulation can supersede it. This would prevent states and local jurisdictions from passing laws that conflict with the Constitution, and would ensure that the rights guaranteed by the Constitution are protected for all Americans.

Here are some of the benefits of this amendment:

• It would strengthen the rule of law and protect the rights of all Americans.

• It would prevent states and local jurisdictions from passing laws that discriminate against or oppress certain groups of people.

• It would promote national unity and make it easier for the federal government to function effectively.

Of course, there are also some potential drawbacks to this amendment. For example, it could make it more difficult for states to experiment with new laws and policies. It could also lead to increased litigation, as people challenge laws that they believe violate the Constitution.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to adopt this amendment is a political one. However, it is an important issue to consider, and the potential benefits of this amendment are significant.
