## Definition

An Eleventh Amendment claim is a legal argument asserting that a lawsuit against a state government or its agencies violates the Eleventh Amendment of the United States Constitution, which provides states with sovereign immunity from certain types of lawsuits in federal courts. These claims typically involve disputes over whether a state has consented to be sued or if there are specific exceptions that permit the lawsuit to proceed despite the Eleventh Amendment's protections.
