A state enacts a statute that imposes personal liability on the federal government for actions performed by federal officials in their official roles. Considering the principles of sovereign immunity, how is the statute most likely to be treated under constitutional law?
The statute is valid provided that the federal government does not challenge it in federal court.
The statute is invalid only if it contradicts a specific federal statute related to the matter.
The statute is valid if it aligns with the state's police powers and public welfare objectives.
The statute is invalid because the federal government is protected from state-imposed liabilities for actions within its constitutional authority.
The statute is invalid because the federal government is protected from state-imposed liabilities for actions within its constitutional authority. Sovereign immunity prevents states from asserting such claims unless the federal government has explicitly waived this protection.
