Totally not my area of expertise, but but IMHO the dual sovereignty relationship between the federal government and states is actually not the same sort of relationship as between the United States and Indian tribes.
There may be similarities, but they are not the same.

- abduhl 6y agoWhat I meant by "on the same level of states" is that the federal government is the supreme sovereign. This understanding is per the commerce clause which places them on the same level as states for purpose of regulation: Congress shall have the power to regulate Commerce with foreign nations and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes. I agree they are not exactly the same when it comes to actual powers.
