    Sovereign immunity protects states from most lawsuits, but there are exceptions. A state can be sued if a plaintiff alleges a constitutional violation or if Congress finds pervasive unconstitutional conduct by a state. A lawsuit against a state can also proceed if it deals with discrimination that receives heightened scrutiny under the Constitution.
