The Eleventh Amendment

"The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State."

This amendment was the right that someone from a different state or country could not sue a state through Federal Government.  This is also connected to Article 3 which has to do with the Court system and the judicial powers of the government.  This amendment is important because it doesn't allow the Supreme Court system to overpower the court of the State.  

This video shows a controversy over Arizona's immigration policies.  It talks about how the federal government of the United States is allowing a lot of Latin American countries to try and sue Arizona through the Federal Court because they say it is going against foreign policy.  

  

This is a picture of the article that shows the case Chisholm v. Georgia 1793 which affirmed that citizens could sue states in Federal Court and that their rights cannot be completely ruled out by the government.  The ruling in this case gave states immunity from this.  But is also made it where someone could sue states through state governments.
