In Seminole Tribe of Fla. v. Florida, the U.S. Supreme Court held that Congress lacks power under Article I of the U.S. Constitution to abrogate the States' sovereign immunity from suits commenced or prosecuted in the federal courts.
A subsequent decision, Alden v. Maine, extended this ruling to suits commenced or prosecuted in state courts.
