U.S. Const., Amend. IX:
"The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
U.S. Const., Amend. X:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
These are considered residual rights clauses. While the federal government can govern supreme (by the Supremacy clause), it has to be deemed to have preempted State prerogatives of sovereignty to do so, where it is authorized to act within its powers in the Constitution explicitly--that is, through the Supremacy Clause the federal goverment can preempt some of the prerogatives of the States as dual sovereigns with the federal government. The federal government, being limited to rights and powers enumerated in the Constitution, can therefore be unassailable in the exercise of those enumerated rights and powers by an assertion of State's Rights.
