"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."

Article six of the constitution of the United States of America says exactly:

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.

Article Six of the U.S Constitution

The three clauses of Article Six state three things:

Debt

Essentially, the debts held by the nation before our Constitution remain valid, even after the Constitution.

Supremacy

The Federal Laws, and all decisions made under it, are sumpreme to all other laws, and as a whole, constitute the highest laws in the country. In disputes, federal law supercedes state law completely.

Religion

The final clause says that public office does not discriminate on the basis of religion. Essentially, this states that faith-based affiliation is not a basis for holding office.

Article Five of the United States Constitution talks about the process whereby the Constitution can be changed by adding an amendment. The U.S. Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787.
