Its a separate sovereign though. See: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/separate_sovereigns_doctrine
The federal government isn't a higher power than the states, its just a different power. Some stuff, like interstate commerce it was given the power to regulate. But all power not given to the federal goverment is reserved by the states.

Nope, reverse that. Some powers are given to the feds, but the states have all the power not given to the feds.
