dual sovereignty

US federal government system, established under the US Constitution (ratified 1788), in which the central government and state governments operate in two different spheres, each with specified power or sovereignty. The Constitution also provides each sphere with concurrent (shared) powers. When a question arises over state rights versus central government authority, the Supreme Court may intervene.
