intergovernmental immunity

A quick definition of intergovernmental immunity:

Intergovernmental immunity is a type of immunity that exists between the federal and state governments. It means that each government is independent and has its own powers, and they cannot be sued by each other without their consent. This immunity is based on the idea that the government needs to be protected from lawsuits so that it can carry out its duties without fear of being sued. It is important because it helps to maintain the balance of power between the federal and state governments.

A more thorough explanation:

Intergovernmental immunity is a type of immunity that exists between the federal and state governments based on their independent sovereignty. It means that one government cannot be sued by the other without its consent.

For example, if a state government wants to sue the federal government for damages caused by a federal project, it cannot do so without the federal government's consent. Similarly, if the federal government wants to sue a state government for violating federal law, it cannot do so without the state government's consent.

This immunity is based on the idea that each government is a separate entity with its own powers and responsibilities, and that they should not interfere with each other's affairs.
