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.
In sum, the eleventh amendment sets limiting powers on federal courts to hear lawsuits from a citizen of a state different from theirs.
The video reinforces the information in the amendment stating that a citizen can only bring a case to trail against another state IF the state agrees.
