Facts
The Seminole Tribe sued the State of Florida for violating the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
Issues
Whether, when Congress clearly intends to abrogate the States’ sovereign immunity, they have the power under Article 5 of the 14th Amendment.
Rule
The 11th Amendment restricts the judicial power under Article III, and prevents congressional authorization of suits by private parties against nonconsenting States.
