The Supreme Court's decision in New York v. New Jersey reinforces the principle of state sovereignty and the contractual nature of interstate compacts. By allowing New Jersey to unilaterally withdraw from the Waterfront Commission Compact, the Court upheld the foundational idea that states retain significant authority over their agreements, provided they do not explicitly restrict withdrawal.
