federal supremacy.

The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) establishes that the Constitution and the federal laws constitute the supreme law of the land. This means that state courts and state constitutions are subordinate to federal law, and in case of conflict, federal law must be applied.

This is shown in the example, as it states that Congress has the power to regulate commerce among states.

The correct answer is A) federal supremacy.

[Congress shall have power] to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States. This excerpt reinforces the idea of federal supremacy.

We are referring to the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

Article VI, clause 2, states that federal laws and treaties made under the authority of the United States Constitution are the supreme law of the land.  This means that local and state governments are under the authority of the US Constitution, and if there would be a conflict between the parts, the US Constitution is the supreme law of the nation, the maximum authority. Among its powers is the regulation of trade with other countries and internally, among the states of the Union.

A. federal supremacy

Explanation:

The term supremacy legally means highest authority. And Congress of the USA is the legislature of the federal government.

So this basically means that the Constitution gives the Congress ( the federal government) greter authority, the power to overrule State laws and actions, such is the case here, concerning Commerce.

Unlike this, implied powers denote powers that aren't explicitly given to Congress through the Constitution, but rather indirectly result from them.
