The 11th Amendment by its plain language bars suits against states by citizens of other states or foreign citizens, but the Supreme Court in Hans v. Louisiana also construed the 11th Amendment to bar suits against states by its own citizens. That immunity can be waived or abrogated by the state itself or by the federal government in limited situations.
