Oh wow. Yeah, the laws here in the US are not like a lot of other places except maybe Australia. All of our states really are nations in their own sense that then submit certain rights and responsibilities to the federal government. Each state has it's own "army" too (we call it a national guard, again it's weird). When a disagreement between laws happens, which really is pretty often, like daily, then you go to the courts and typically the supreme court if things are really strange and complicated. For other people from other countries, it is a pretty weird system, we know. Umm, you may want to do some research on this stuff, as a HN comment is not even going to come close to covering all the important topics, and there are a lot of them. Essentially, the way it work in the US is that each state will do whatever the hell it wants to do until the Federal government forces them to stop, usually via some sort of money method, but occasionally via the military (bleeding Kansas, civil war, civil rights movement, etc). Our government works because we all hate each others' guts, but we hate equally. Most Americans are very happy/disgusted with the system, typically both at the same time. Again, we know it's strange.
