Not true in all cases.
The federal government is empowered by the states and the people --not the other way around.
The federal government cannot legally legislate away the limits placed on its powers by the US Constitution:
"The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitution's principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution of the United States are reserved to the states or the people."
