The states in the union where not sovereign as have already been proven to you a number of times. L
When you can't enter into treatises with other sovereign states, don't control your territory and can't have an army then you are not a sovereign state.
"Can't."
You keep saying this word.

I think it does not mean what you think it means.

You're confusing delegation of national powers, with surrender of national sovereignty... ***edited***

Clearly shown by the simple fact that no sovereign state in the world recognized this sovereignty you claim.
Actually the Treaty of Paris recognized it, by the sovereign nation-states of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, the Holy Roman Empire etc.
There, his Brittanic Majesty acknowledged the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treated with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquished all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.

A state is sovereign if they exerciser that sovereignty and others recognize this... and the US states are clearly forbidden by the US Constitution to do so. (and so is it under the CSA one, btw.

"Forbidden" doesn't mean what you think, either.
The Constitution never expressly united the states as a single nation state, so that didn't happen.


and another thing.
The words Nation and state are two different things... and the words are not interchangeable.
If you want to get into semantics, we'll have to go to the Law of Nations:

Book : CHAPTER I: Of Nations or Sovereign States.

§1. Of the state, and of sovereignty.
A nation or a state is, as has been said at the beginning of this work, a body politic, or a society of men united together for the purpose of promoting their mutual safety and advantage by their combined strength.


Currently, there are two main different types of “sovereign state” under international law:

1) internationally sovereign states, aka “nation-states,” which are independently and supremely self-ruling; and

2) domestically sovereign states, which are subordinate to a larger nation-state.


Sovereign nation-states are also known by the term “sovereign nations,” such as Great Britain, France, Italy, or Japan etc. Meanwhile, domestically sovereign states, would be like the states of the national republic of Brazil, otherwise known as "federated units" like Rio.

In any event, each American state was described to the teeth as separate, sovereign nation-states from 1776 onward; and James Madison likewise defined them in 1800 as "A people in their highest sovereign capacity," and that there was no higher legal authority.
