which takes precedence

We tend not to say 'a higher ranking regulation' but we would say 'a regulation which takes precedence' and the meaning is the same.
Example sentence:

Do Federal administrative regulations take precedence over state constitutions?

Legal translation is not my field, so someone working in that field should pass judgement on this suggestion.

<título>a) Principio de jerarquía normativa</título> (art. 9.3 ): Consiste en establecer que ****la norma de rango superior prevalece siempre sobre la de rango inferior y garantiza la unidad del ordenamiento al eliminar de él aquellas normas que contradicen las de rango superior****. En principio, el ordenamiento jurídico estaría jerarquizado de mayor a menor como: 1º) Constitución; 2º) Leyes (emanadas del poder legislativo) y disposiciones con rango de ley; 3.º) Reglamentos ordenados, a su vez, jerárquicamente, dependiendo de la autoridad jerárquica de la que emanen. El principio de jerarquía normativa fue representado gráficamente por KELSEN, en su famosa pirámide normativa. En la cúspide de la pirámide está la Constitución o la Ley Fundamental del Estado.
