This excerpt is frоm Federаlist #78: The Judiciаry Depаrtment by Hamiltоn. "A cоnstitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by the judges, as a fundamental law. It therefore belongs to them to ascertain its meaning, as well as the meaning of any particular act proceeding from the legislative body. If there should happen to be an irreconcilable variance between the two, that which has the superior obligation and validity ought, of course, to be preferred; or, in other words, the Constitution ought to be preferred to the statute..." Which principle is Hamilton supporting here?
