Judges, generally speaking. You can see it in the text of the clause itself:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
One way to rephrase that is: Judges are required to do what the constitution, federal laws, and treaties demand even if they contradict other laws they are supposed to enforce.
Which is what makes it the supremacy clause - it makes federal rules the FINAL authority.
