What is the supreme law of the land?

How to answer in the interview

Keep the answer short and clear. If the officer asks this civics question, the expected answer is simply: The Constitution.

Simple memory tip

The Constitution is the highest legal foundation of the United States. Connect the word “supreme” with “highest,” then remember that the highest law is the Constitution.

Common mistake

Do not answer with “the President,” “Congress,” or “the Supreme Court.” Those are parts of the government, but the supreme law of the land is the Constitution.
