The constitution established a relationship between the state and national governments in the preamble of the constitution. The relationship is called new federalism.
The highest authority in the United States that controls the division of powers between the central and local governments is the Supreme Court. Through its interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Court determines the limits of power for both the federal government and state governments. Its decisions help define the balance and boundaries of power between the two levels of government.

Through the grants of power in the U.S. Constitution, the Framers sought to empower government and limit it. This was accomplished through the federalism system of government which distributed authority between the national and individual state governments.
Not at all. A sovereign is a king. The constitution prevents a president from being a king because the government powers are divided between branches.
The Anti-Federalists, who were called the Democratic-Republicans, and later the Republicans during Marshall's term of office, were not pleased that Marshall ruled in favor of the United States in cases involving conflicts between the states and federal governments. They also didn't like the fact that Marshall used the Constitution to strip the states of their sovereign authority.
The United States Constitution preserves and protects liberty and democracy by dividing authority between three competing branches of government; by limiting the authority of the federal government over the people and over the several states, which retain police powers and authority over intra-state criminal and other matters (with some exceptions), control over elections, and other sovereign-like authority; by guaranteeing an independent judiciary with life tenure; etc.
