States are passing laws and resolutions designed at preventing the enaction of Federal programs (notably national health care) in areas where the states have previously been the governing authority. In most cases, the states have expressed concern that the costs of such programs would have to be borne by the citizens of the state, while the actual operation was entirely overseen by a Federal bureaucracy. The states actually never gave up their sovereignty. The benefits of a Union being recognized, the states acknowledged their joint agreement to a common system. In the United States, the individual states ratified the Constitution, which mandated that the signatories could not restrict the rights of citizens under that document, nor contravene the powers granted by it to the Federal government and courts. Where state laws conflict with Federal Laws, Federal courts decide which party has the Constitutional authority in that specific instance. The 9th and 10th Amendments have been ruled not to apply in some cases regarding interstate commerce, to which Congress is given authority under Article 1, Section 8. (see related question)

What is dual sovereignty?
Dual sovereignty is incorrect insofar as one only needs singular sovereignty as venue is not important. Proper issued sovereignty is universal and granted only by an Exchangor/Grantor of the pure trust foundation. Dual sovereignty is a concept in American constitutional that both the State governments and the federal governments are sovereign. The state governments and the federal government each have spheres and can execute powers that the other cannot. The states are sovereign over most domestic issues--whether a will or contract is valid, what a landlord must do in order to evict a tennant, who is married, how old one must be to drive a car, and what the rules governing corporations are. The federal government is sovereign over issues such as trade between the states or foreign countries, foreign relations, etc. This is why, for example, the federal government cannot say that same sex marraige is not legal in Massachusetts, but Massachusetts cannot say that it will in the War in Iraq.

What kind of goverenment does th US have?
The United States is a Constitutional Republic. The Articles separate the federal government into 3 co-equal branches, each of which has limited enumerated powers. The first 10 amendments were passed shortly thereafter to limit the authority of the federal government and guarantee that all powers not delegated to the states nor prohibited to it by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people (10). Article 4 of said Constitution declares that each state shall be guaranteed a Republican form of government. The federal Government has sovereignty in all matters specifically enumerated by the Constitution. The several states have sovereignty over all matters that are neither enumerated to the federal government nor prohibited to it by the Constitution. Individuals retain personal sovereignty in all remaining matters.
