States have "sovereigh power", but only within their own boundaries. That is what is referred to as "police powers". A State cannot enter into treaties with other nations, for example, but may regulate its own police force, State guard, and levy its own taxes.

Mark Sanford entered into an agreement with an Argentine in Argentina. Does that qualify as a State making a treaty with a foreign Body?
