"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."
The eleventh amendment text doesn't allow a person to sue a state in federal court without the state's consent of that state.
This amendment might be a little bit difficult to understand, so this video will certainly be of some help. It has a lot of drawings and pictures that help you understand it better.
This is another illustrated video that talks about this amendment. I like it because a part from it telling you what the amendment is and what it means, it also explains why it was created and what were the reasons to include it in the Constitution.
