Sovereign Immunity
Sovereign immunity is a legal doctrine that protects governments and their agencies from being sued or held legally liable for their actions, without their consent. In the United States, this principle is rooted in the Eleventh Amendment of the Constitution, which provides states with immunity from certain types of lawsuits in federal courts, and is also applied to the federal government under the principle of federal sovereign immunity.
