When was federal sovereign immunity in the U.S. established?
score:2
Accepted answer
Sovereign Immunity was there from the beginning. In fact, the very first constitutional ammendment that was passed after ratification (the 11th) was designed to tweak it a bit.
It was a principle brought over from English law, although it actually applies in many countries around the world, particularly constitutional monarchies.
