Chisholm v. Georgia


February 18 marked the 233rd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Chisholm  v. Georgia, where the Court allowed a citizen from one state to sue another state in federal court. The 4–1 decision spurred Congress to pass and the states to ratify the Eleventh Amendment in 1795 to eliminate federal court jurisdiction over such suits. This became the first time a Court decision was overturned by a constitutional amendment.

In 1908, the Court decided Ex Parte Young, which allowed suits in federal courts for injunctions against state officials when the state acted contrary to federal law.

Early Supreme Court decisions were largely published in newspapers, but the interest in Chisholm likely led to it being what is thought to be the one of the earliest Supreme Court cases printed for distribution in pamphlet form.
