amendment11

1 Lindsay Carswell 2 Hollingsworth vs. Virginia 1907 3 The reason why this case was applied to the eleventh amendment was because the United States Supreme Court offered no rationale for its holding. Although the Court held that a presidential signature was not necessary for valid ratification that holding is limited to the precise facts that were actually before the Court. 4 The Supreme Court nowhere expressed this position in its Hollingsworth opinion. The Court may have taken the position that once ratified by the requisite number of States, an amendment or proposed amendment can no longer be challenged. 5 This means that Under these circumstances, the absence of a presidential signature does not work a veto, but implies assent under the procedures laid out in artical 1, even assuming they apply to the amendment process of Artical 1V.

2.Hans vs Louisianna (1890) 3.The reason the 11th Amendment was applied to this case is Hans, a citizen of Louisianna, filed a suit against the state in the United States District Court, stating that Louisiana was impairing the obligations of a contract, which was forbidden by Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution. The issue facing the Court was "whether a state can be sued in a Circuit Court of the United States by one of its own citizens upon a suggestion that the case is one that arises under the Constitution or laws of the United States." 4.The ruling was that the Supreme Court could hear //appeals// of a state's successful suit against a citizen because this was not the same thing as a citizen's suit against the state. 5.This decision means that while a citizen cannot sue their state, their state can sue them. The impact is the same as its meaning. No citizen can take their state to court, but their state can take them to court.

Jenniffer Molina =Hustler Magazine v. Falwell= prohibits awarding damages to public figures to compensate for emotional distress intentionally inflicted upon them unless they can show that the statements that gave rise to the distress were false and that the person that made those statements knew they were false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth in making the statements. //Hustler// magazine's parody of Jerry Falwell did not satisfy this standard, and so the Court reversed a jury verdict in favor of Falwell awarding him $250,000 in damages.
