Common Law is the Rule of Law, the Supreme Law of the Land. Rule of Law is the legal maxim that "every Right when with-held must have a remedy, and every injury it’s proper redress", and the principle under which all persons, institutions, and entities are accountable to the Supreme Law of the  Constitution. Our forefathers intended that the Supreme Law would prevail over all other laws and would be the basis of all law. And that any law coming in conflict with Supreme Law that threaten the Rights of the People, would be deemed null and void of law. No courts are bound to uphold it, no Citizens are bound to obey it. It would bare no power to be enforced; it would bare no obligation to be obeyed; it would purport to settle as if it had never existed. Where Rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them. 

Unconstitutional Statutes, whether Federal or State, though having the form and name of law, it is, no law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose, since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment. An unconstitutional law, is inoperative, as if it had never been passed. No repeal of an enactment is necessary since an unconstitutional law is void. The general principles follows that it imposes no duty, converse no rights, creates no office, bestows no power of authority on anyone, affords no protection and justifies no acts performed under it. A contract which rests on an unconstitutional statute creates no obligation to be impaired by subsequent legislation. No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law. No courts are bound to enforce it. A void act cannot be legally inconsistent with a valid one and an unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede an existing valid law. Indeed, in so far as an Executive Order or statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby.
