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, anything 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.
