Nope, National government has sovereign power over State government.
Wrong. The Constitution gives Congress very little power over state governments. The Constitution provides a list of powers reserved to Congress (post offices, a navy, foreign treaties, etc) and specifies that all other powers - without limit - are reserved to the states.
So there are few areas for dispute between Congress and states, as long as neither intrudes on the legitimate issues reserved to the other.
States DO have a huge potential power over the feds: States alone can amend the Constitution, and do so without interference by Congress. A Constitutional Convention of states could eliminate the Senate, make the President's term 23 months, or prohibit abortion nationwide. Once STATES vote to do that, feds must obey the revised Constitution without further discussion.

The major powers belonging to a sovereign state refer to security and the economy. A central government needs to ability to be the sole issuer of money (both coins and bills) so 'cheaper' money does not debase it. A sovereign state also needs the ability to control it's own defense by being in sole command of it's armed forces. It also needs the ability to levy taxes in order to pay for the basic services its citizens require.
devolution.
powers delegated to the national government because it is the government of a sovereign state within the world community
In the Constitution the states were intended to have more power, and now National Government has more power but not as much power as a State government has on a State. In other words National government has more power to the country but the state government has more power to the state.

unitary
In a unitary government the power is held by one central authority but in a federal government, the power is divided between national (federal) government and local (state) governments. Federal government v has multiple hierarchy levels, with both the central authority and the states (or provinces) both being sovereign.v the central (national) rules override the state rules v has a balance between them. IE the US v shared between national and local levels. In a federal form of government, the term "federal" is also used to refer to the national level of government. Unitary government v there is no hierarchy of sovereign powers. v states have no authority to pass their own laws, and the central (national) govt can order the states to do anything -- just like a state can order a town to do anything, because the town is not sovereign. v is the federal government has a huge percentage of the power. IE Japan
It creates two sovereigns, the national government and the state governments
