THE 11TH 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."

Meaning: This amendment is stating that you give states certain sovereign and free judicial powers over certain national things as well as limiting their rights to sue states. If you live in New York you can't sue Missouri or any foreign states.

TWENTY-SEVENTH AMENDMENT:) " No law varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect until an election of Representatives shall have intervened."
