If a state law conflicts with a federal law which law will prevail?

Answer:
State Law represents a state. Federal Law is central government and represents the union. (All states) The Constitution is the highest form of law in the USA, and federal law enforces the constitution. Therefore, Federal Law would prevail at anytime against any state laws. It's like a regular Criminal Court going up against The Supreme Court.
