What is the relationship between state sovereignty and individual liberty?

State sovereignty reigned supreme under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. The ratification of the United States Constitution relegated state sovereignty to a joint sharing of power with the sovereignty of the nation. You might rephrase this question with, how are individual liberties best protected? The Founders of the United States of America answered this question by presenting the US Constitution for ratification (thus overturning the Articles) and the people answered this question by ratifying the US Constitution. Therefore, the very, very short answer to this question is that, given the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, our individual liberties are best protected by the ultimate sovereign being located in all of the people instead of the people of each individual state. Finally, investigation into the relationship between the individual and authority will yield additional insight into this very compelling question.
