Invalidity of inconsistent laws: state enactments that abridge fundamental rights are void to that extent.
Laws conflicting with Fundamental Rights are void to the extent of inconsistency; the State cannot enact laws that take away or abridge those rights. "Law" is defined broadly to include ordinances, orders, bye laws, rules, regulations, notifications, customs or usages with the force of law, and "laws in force" covers prior enactments even if not presently operative in all areas. A specified constitutional exception excludes amendments made under the constitution's amending procedure from this invalidation rule.
