Tell me: what part of "Articles of Confederacy and Perpetual Union" don't you understand?

And although the states generally retain sovereignty within their boundaries, they explicitly --in both the Articles and the Constitution -- ceded many of their sovereign powers to the federal government, including the right to make war, sign treaties, and regulate imports and exports.

They also agreed to give 'full faith to the public Acts, Records, and Judicial Proceedings of every other State..." Rather obviously, truly independent countries are under no such obligation when it comes to the laws and proceedings of other countries.

BIG TIME!!!!
