When it rules based upon the federal law instead, it is taking a view that state law only provides the minimum permitted protection of federal rights. | |

Virginia, 19 U.S. 264 (1821), the Supreme Court held that the Supremacy Clause and the judicial power granted in Article III give the Supreme Court the ultimate power to review state court decisions involving issues arising under the Constitution and laws of the United States. | |
