Forget about the Supreme Court (SC) because its decisions have no bearing at all on the People or the Constitution. For a fact though “Congress” uses SC decisions against the People.

I see the Constitution and government as opposites or enemies. The People’s side of the affair is the Constitution. Political rhetoric, or issues, are like carrots dangling in front of a donkey, where the People are the donkey. Political issues lead the People away from the Constitution.

I wonder if your statement that the States act on behalf of the People is “constitutionally” correct, or a carrot. Consider the Oath of Office in Article VI; State Officials are required to “support” the Constitution. So on behalf of the People must be to support the Constitution and anything repugnant to the Constitution, therefore, cannot be on behalf of the People.

I’m a bit of a stickler for it as well.

States do not have “rights” – only individuals have rights. States and state governments act on behalf of the people living in their territory.

Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see/hear a conclusion. I think there is no “constitutional” conclusion to the argument on State’s Rights. The State and federal governments have no constitutional Rights, they have powers.

The People have Rights and according to the Constitution the People have the Right (of Conscience) to nullify any and or all government legislation (pertaining to one court case) but only when serving on a Citizen Jury; reference Amendment 5, 6, and 7 of the Bill of Rights.
