What amendment says states cannot be sued in federal court?

The Eleventh Amendment revoked the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction over disputes "between a state and citizens of another state," due to the Court's decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, (1793), in which the Jay Court decided the states lacked sovereign immunity from being sued for debt acquired during the Revolutionary War. Congress and the states rightfully feared this could bankrupt the states, and quickly passed the Eleventh Amendment.The Supreme Court later decided the Eleventh Amendment should be extended to include disputes between a state and its own citizens.Amendment XI"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."States can be sued in federal court by other states, and by individuals or other entities if the state waives its sovereign immunity, however. State government officials may be sued by name for injunctive action, under the theory that the individual cannot invoke protection for a wrongdoing under sovereign immunity, because such behavior is not authorized or sanctioned by the state. If the court finds in favor of a plaintiff's case, the state is responsible for undertaking ordered corrective action, but not for any equitable (monetary) damages (because that would be tantamount to suing the state treasury).Additional Notes:States may remove actions against private citizens to federal court.The United States may initiate action against a state in federal court.One state may initiate action against another state in federal court.States may waive their Eleventh Amendment protection and allow private parties to initiate action in federal court, but this is a discretionary action.State sovereign immunity does not extend to municipalities within a state.
