Constitution is Supreme Law of the Land over State laws. But only for laws explicitly stated in the Constitution. E.g. States can't print money. I think it also says the states own the citizens... but not sure any citizen agreed to this. Various theories exist that if you register to vote or do other things that you have agreed to the laws of the state. Certainly this is true with agreeing to servitude to the county if you live in NC if you buy property. Read the contract. Similarly, cities in NC must agree to levy property tax. So, its a property tax based system. Now, can an HOA make a law superceding a state law? I don't think so. I think the existence of the law enforcement and court systems mean whatever law they enforce is the supreme law of the land. Of course, the IRS is absolved of normal courts and has its own; so one might think they are their own super supreme. My research thus far.
