In what kind of cases does the supreme court have original jurisdiction?

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, federal justices and judges differed on the question of whether state and inferior federal courts could constitutionally exercise jurisdiction in cases that fell within the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction under Article III. In the case of Farquhar v. Georgia in 1791 or 1792, the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Georgia ruled that an individual could not sue a state in a federal circuit court because the Constitution's grant of original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court was exclusive.

Explanation:

Article III, section 2, of the Constitution distributes the federal judicial power between the Supreme Court's appellate and original jurisdiction, providing that the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction in "all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls," and in cases to which a state is.
