The sovereignty of a state, nation, or country guarantees that they control the domestic laws and commerce, and the rights of citizens. In the United States, individual states will normally control their own laws and regulations, except where this conflicts with individual rights under the Constitution, or with Federal law. State sovereignty is a legal principle that US states are acknowledged by the Constitution to have control over the laws and activities within their jurisdictions. This is subject to restriction in some cases by the Congress under Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, to prevent individual states from discrimination in interstate commerce.
