 Sovereignty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De jure sovereignty is the legal right to do so; de facto sovereignty is the ability in fact to do so (which becomes of special concern upon the failure of the usual expectation that de jure and de facto sovereignty exist at the place and time of concern, and rest in the same organization).
In constitutional and international law, the concept of sovereignty also pertains to a government possessing full control over its own affairs within a territorial or geographical area or limit, and in certain context to various organs (such as courts of law) possessing legal jurisdiction in their own chief, rather than by mandate or under supervision.
Sovereignty is absolute, thus indivisible, but not without any limits: it exercises itself only in the public sphere, not in the private sphere; it is perpetual, because it doesn't expire with its holder (as auctoritas).

The extent of the sovereignty of the Maine tribes will depend on how the phrase "internal tribal matters" is finally decided and whether the courts are willing to recognize that the Maine tribes as Indian people continue to have all those rights not specifically ceded by them or withdrawn by the federal government.
The federal court recognized the retained sovereignty of the tribe and applied federal common law to define the words "internal tribal matters." Not surprisingly, the result was much more deferential to tribal autonomy.
Conversely, when the Nation exercises its retained sovereignty as an Indian tribe, it is free of any such limitations and is free of any state regulation at all.
