The 11th Amendment changed the jurisdiction of federal courts as outlined in Article III, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, it limits the ability of individuals to sue states in federal court, establishing that states cannot be sued by citizens of another state or by foreign citizens without the state's consent. This amendment effectively reinforced state sovereignty and altered the balance of power between federal and state courts.
