Implied preemption occurs when a state law conflicts with federal law, such that the state law is rendered ineffective, even if Congress has not explicitly stated its intent to preempt state legislation. This principle is essential for maintaining a consistent federal legal framework and preventing states from enacting laws that would interfere with national objectives. It emphasizes the supremacy of federal law over state law in areas where the federal government intends to regulate comprehensively.
