The 11th Amendment, ratified in 1795, was largely a response to the Supreme Court case Chisholm v. Georgia, where the court ruled that states could be sued in federal court. Key figures involved in its passage included James Madison and other framers of the Constitution, who sought to clarify the limits of federal judicial power. While not "famous" in the modern sense, these framers were significant political figures of their time. The amendment effectively curtailed the ability of individuals to sue states in federal court, reinforcing state sovereignty.

Who were famous people against the 19th Amendment?

Knowing about some of the people who were alive in 1920 I am going to take an educated guess at the answer. I know that President McKinley was against women's suffrage and had some of the women involved in the movement arrested. Henry Ford would have also been against the amendment. He was not a very nice man and was against women working. Most men in this time were against a woman having any rights.
