There are some things that the Federal government isn't allowed to do. This is entirely seperate from their power to say prevent slavery.

The States agreed to cede certain rights to the Feds, military, foreign policy, interstate trade among them. The rest is up to the States. One thing that may help, a 'State' is a sovereign thing - a nation you could say. Our country is a group of nations! Theoretically.
