in the the states we only have one commonwealth, and it's a state, they just wanted to flaunt their vocab, so in the states it would mean parity. they claim here in the states that federal laws over rides state laws, but this is only when the feds say so; fed laws ban pot and claim to supersede local laws, but there are also federal speed limit laws, that states claim their laws supersede the feds. so in the states it's clearly unclear.

It works the same way that it does in the USA. If the application of one or the other would change the outcome of the suit, then the STATE law applies. If this is a criminal matter, then it's a bit more complex than that.
