The few scholars who have applied the insights of public choice theory to constitutional interpretation have argued that a textualist approach to state sovereign immunity would read the Eleventh Amendment narrowly in order to respect a possible legislative compromise embedded in its precise text.
IMPLICATIONS (BRIEF) CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION The Eleventh Amendment states plainly: "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.
Prior to the ratification of the Eleventh Amendment there were concerns that the states would be subject to suit in federal court.
