What permits states to manage their international offairs?

In the United States, the management of many of the internal affairs of a US State, exist because the US Constitution specifies the areas of Federal concern and duties. The Constitution also states that whatever is not specified in it, is left for the individual States to decide. Thus as one example, the Constitution forbids unusual or cruel punishments, however, if a State chooses to enact a death penalty law in its penal code, that's an internal State affair. The death penalty law however, must be in line with the Constitution. Also, if a State chooses NOT to have a death penalty, then that's fine as well as the US Constitution does not instruct States that they must have a death penalty.
