What is dual sovereignty?
Dual sovereignty is incorrect insofar as one only needs singular sovereignty as venue is not important. Proper issued sovereignty is universal and granted only by an Exchangor/Grantor of the pure trust foundation. Dual sovereignty is a concept in American constitutional that both the State governments and the federal governments are sovereign. The state governments and the federal government each have spheres and can execute powers that the other cannot. The states are sovereign over most domestic issues--whether a will or contract is valid, what a landlord must do in order to evict a tennant, who is married, how old one must be to drive a car, and what the rules governing corporations are. The federal government is sovereign over issues such as trade between the states or foreign countries, foreign relations, etc. This is why, for example, the federal government cannot say that same sex marraige is not legal in Massachusetts, but Massachusetts cannot say that it will in the War in Iraq.

The Federal American government is based on having the central government split into three separate branches. There is a judicial, executive and legislative set of branches. This was created to prevent any one sector of the central government to gain power over another branch illegally.Also, the governing document of the US, the US Constitution, clearly delineates the powers the central government has. All powers not given to the federal government are left to the states. This makes the US government one of the most civil rights laden one in even the western democracies.
Who made up the US government?
The federal government is not the three branches of government, as commonly mistaken. The federal government is the sharing of power between the Central Government and the State government. The constitution states clearly what powers the Government has, what power the State has, and what power is shared between the two.
