As far as I know, there is no mention of sovereign immunity in the constitution itself. It seems like it's one of those legal traditions that get passed down (like how parts the United States' legal system come from British Common Law). In fact, I don't think there's even a law that says the US has sovereign immunity, it's one of those things that just is.
