A private citizen may sue a state government in federal court for monetary damages without the state's consent.
True
False
The correct answer is false because the Eleventh Amendment generally bars lawsuits by private citizens against state governments in federal court for monetary damages unless the state consents or Congress validly abrogates state immunity under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. This rule reflects principles of state sovereign immunity, which protect states from being compelled to defend themselves in federal court against such claims. The Eleventh Amendment ensures that states retain their sovereign status, limiting federal oversight in the absence of explicit exceptions.
