The 11th Amendment has been a topic of intense legal debate primarily because it addresses the balance of power between state sovereignty and federal authority, particularly concerning lawsuits against states in federal court. Critics argue that it can shield states from accountability for violations of Federal Laws, undermining citizens’ rights. Additionally, its interpretation has evolved through various Supreme Court rulings, leading to differing views on its applicability and the scope of state immunity. This ongoing tension reflects broader themes of federalism and the limitations of judicial power.
