"Federal sovereignty" is the extension of authority by a federation or group of governments, where the prerogatives of the group supercede those of the individual member states. One example under the US Constitution is the supremacy of Federal courts in decisions over laws, rights, and interstate commerce. Another would be the issuance of the national currency.

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.
