And that law you quoted just means that the states, by themselves, cannot, for example, sign a treaty with Canada or other countries.

Well becides the famous "No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation." (the CSA was a confederation, so by definition those states must have entered a confederation), there is also the more specific "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress...enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State".

Article 1, Section 10...reads,"No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation."
Article 1, Section 3..." No state shall, without the consent of Congress, enter into any agreement or compact with any other state."

[/QUOTE]It's Section 10, not section 3. It's correct the first time, and wrong the 2nd. Article 1, Section 3 discusses the makeup and function of the US Senate.
