It's really not that much different to what happens in Federal systems like
Australia and the USA. Australian States are technically sovereign but
their laws must not be in conflict with Federal law - I think it is much the
same in the USA . You have a Supreme Court to adjudicate we have a High
Court... Europe is very slowly evolving into a Federal system.
Actually it all started with Cardinal Richelieu in France in the 1600's with
the destruction of wall cities and the creation of France as a real nation,
that was one of the historical events that started the ball rolling towards
centralisation.. not new!!
