Is the federal government concerned with the constitution?

Since when is the federal government concerned with the constitution

 1, Section 2 of the Nevada Constitution:
""All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security and benefit of the people; and they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it. But the Paramount Allegiance of every citizen is due to the Federal Government in the exercise of all its Constitutional powers as the same have been or may be defined by the Supreme Court of the United States; and no power exists in the people of this or any other State of the Federal Union to dissolve their connection therewith or perform any act tending to impair, subvert, or resist the Supreme Authority of the government of the United States. The Constitution of the United States confers full power on the Federal Government to maintain and Perpetuate its existence, and whensoever any portion of the States, or people thereof attempt to secede from the Federal Union, or forcibly resist the Execution of its laws, the Federal Government may, by warrant of the Constitution, employ armed force in compelling obedience to its Authority.""

"have been or may be defined by the Supreme Court of the United States" is not found the us constitution. To say the slavish deference to federal law is primary, when the federation government generally fails to follow the constitutition and the federal executive do not faithfully implement the laws passed by congress, is to bow to arbitrary authority
