Trivia: The 11th Amendment was proposed in the wake of what 1793 court case?
Miranda v. Arizona
Chisholm v. Georgia
Brown v. Board of Education
Roe v. Wade
The correct answer is Chisholm v. Georgia
So why is this answer correct? : In the 1793 case “Chisholm v. Georgia,” the Supreme Court ruled that states lacked sovereign immunity, and could be sued in federal court without consent. Many states opposed the verdict, leading to the proposal and ratification of the 11th Amendment — a groundbreaking act that negated the court’s decision and provided states immunity from federal lawsuits initiated by residents of another state or country.
