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.
