Which Amendment first overturned a US Supreme Court decision?
The Eleventh Amendment revoked the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction over conflicts between a state and citizens of another state. This change was made in response to the decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. 419 (1793), in which the Court declared the states lacked sovereign immunity against being sued in equity cases (mostly over land disputes), and made a large award to Chisholm against the state of Georgia.The States rightly assumed this precedent could quickly send them into bankruptcy, and petitioned Congress to amend the Constitution for their protection. The Eleventh Amendment now provides for diversity jurisdiction in the District Court, meaning the lower courts in the state being sued have original jurisdiction over these disputes.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."For more information, see Related Questions, below.

What was the US Supreme Court case Chisholm v. Georgia?
Chisholm v. Georgia (1793), involved property disputes between the state of Georgia and two South Carolina men whose land was seized by Georgia during the American Revolution because they were loyalists (loyal to the King of England, rather than the new Republic). Following the war, the men filed a grievance with the Supreme Court, asking that their case be heard on the grounds that the federal court was empowered to intervene.On the day of the scheduled hearing, Georgia failed to send a representative, so the Court entered a default judgment in favor of the plaintiffs. This created so much outrage among the states, who were afraid of being bankrupted by war claims, that Congress and the States enacted the Eleventh Amendment, forbidding federal courts from trying lawsuits between the citizens of one state and the government of another. (Article III, Section 2, gave the Supreme Court original jurisdiction over this type case, but the Eleventh Amendment revoked the jurisdiction. Now the Supreme Court may only hear these cases if the states or Congress deliberately waive the Amendment on an individual basis.)Case Citation:Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 US 419 (1793)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
