A state refusing to follow a federal law would be guilty of violating the Supremacy Clause.

Further Explanation:

Supremacy clause is defined in article VI, clause 2 of the Constitution. It establishes that the federal laws are the “supreme law of theland” and have priority over the state laws. It defines that the state courts and even the state constitutional bound to the supreme law. The conflict of laws rules gives Federal act priority over state acts, but if a federal law comes into conflict with Constitution then it is declared as null and void.  

The supremacy clause is mentioned in the Article XIII of the article of confederation which defines that every state should submit to the question of confederation. The priority of the federal authorities applied only when the authorities defined in the Constitution itself. Both the state and the federal government have to be within the boundaries of the U.S.A. Constitution.  

This clause is the foundation of the American political culture. Supremacy clause was introduced by the New Jersey plan.

The first time the Supreme Court used the supremacy clause was in Wareversus Hylton Case in 1796 to strike down the state law. In Marbury versusMadison Case, it too strikes down the law passed by the Congress as it was unconstitutional.
