Believing in the states’ sovereignty to pass its own laws is free from a centralized government is not against libertarian ideals. And most libertarians would fight for similar restrictions on state governments in which they live. What you are suggesting is that libertarian ideals would be against states existing in the 1st place, which is not something I have heard anyone believe.

And if you read the Bill of Rights, each amendment specifies the scope. The 1st clearly states what entity it is aimed at in the first word. If you followed it literally, then the states should not have to pay attention to that one, because it is not for them.
