美國憲法第六條

美利堅合眾國憲法第六條，規定憲法和根據憲法所制定的合眾國法律，以及根據合眾國的權力已締結或將締結的一切條約，都是全國的最高法律。全國的所有政府官員都應擁護憲法，且不得以宗教信仰作為出任任何公職的必要條件，合眾國成立前以《邦聯條例》組建邦聯政府時所欠債務，在合眾國成立後一樣有效。

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
