Rhode Island Amendment 3 (1790) — barring federal judicial power over states in paper money and public securities matters

3d. It is declared by the Convention, that the judicial power of the United States in cases in which a state may be a party, does not extend to criminal prosecutions, or to authorize any suit by any person against a state; but to remove all doubts or controversies respecting the same, that it be especially expressed as a part of the constitution of the United States, that Congress shall not directly or indirectly, either by themselves or through the judiciary, interfere with any one of the states, in the redemption of paper money already emitted and now in circulation, or in liquidating or discharging the publick securities of any one state, that each and every state shall have the exclusive right of making such laws and regulations for the before mentioned purpose, as they shall think proper.
