This nation is a Nation OF States, not a Nation OVER States. The will of the State (and it's people) will not be waived by any single federal power.

No, the Constitution made the States a union of states, and that union was meant to be indivisible.

"made the States a union of states"

See: "of" (especially when considered next to "over")

Good morning.
"...and that union was meant to be indivisible."

I must have missed the forever-and-ever part of the constitution. I was probably distracted by that stuff in the Declaration of Independence about the People having the right to rise up when a government ceases to serve the People.
