Business Law

Without the Supremacy Clause, there would always be overlapping and conflicting federal and state law. The Supremacy Clause ensures that federal law always preempts state law if there is a conflict. In the absence of a Supremacy Clause, there would be a floodgate of litigation regarding choice of law questions and which law applies to a particular case. In this case, Wyeth did act ethically because if a large drug-manufacturing company immediately admitted to liability every time a plaintiff sued, alleging negligence, the company would surely go bankrupt. In the face of a civil suit, the company is entitled ...
