Article I § 7 states 'Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law...'
Thats how the Federal Government enacts laws. The Constitution doesn't say how laws are enacted by the states. States enact laws all the time by referendum. It doesn't matter how the states create a law if it is in conflict with the constitution, the supremacy clause comes into play.
If you don't think an ordinance is a law, try telling that to the cops when you violate one.
Now Im ROTFLMAO!

Thats how the Federal Government enacts laws. The several states have their own method, all of which involve a legislature.
Local ordinances are not laws, they do not apply to all the citizens of a state.
