How many states currently have laws that violate the constitution?
Mississippi has a law prohibits any person who "denies the existence of a Supreme Being" from holding state office. This is in direct violation of Article 6 of the constitution.
Quote:
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.
There are a lot of old laws on the books around the country that are unenforceable and just relics. Heck, most of the anti-sodomy laws would be one big example following a supreme court case and then you get into all the bizarre old laws like "you can't drive your buggy down mainstreet on a Sunday" or "all mule trading must be noted by the sheriff" type stuff.
