47 Which amendment prevents a citizen of North Carolina suing the state of Georgia?]

The 11th Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents a citizen of one state from suing another state. Specifically, it states that "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." This means that a citizen of North Carolina cannot sue the state of Georgia in court.
