Amendment07

[|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Text] || - It is a most important and valuable amendment; and places upon the high ground of constitutional right the inestimable privilege of a trial by jury in civil cases, a privilege scarcely inferior to that in criminal cases, which is conceded by all to be essential to political and civil liberty." [] || [] ||
 * || ** Amendment 7 ** ||
 * **Summary** || Amendment 7, which is part of the bill of rights is about arranging the right to a jury trial in civil cases. This means that it asserts that cases may not be examined again by another court.
 * ===**Key Quotes**=== || -"The right of trial by Jury is a fundamental law, made sacred by the Constitution, and cannot be legislated away." [|[5]]
 * - "In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law." **
 * Date Proposed: || September 25,1789 ||
 * Date Ratified: || December 15, 1791 ||

 * Court cases about this amendment || ** "[w]e all know that permanent judges acquire an esprit de corps; that, being known, they are liable to be tempted by bribery; that they are misled by favor, by relationship, by a spirit of party, by a devotion to the executive or legislative; that it is better to leave a cause to the decision of [|cross and pile] than to that of a judge biased to one side ; and that the opinion of twelve honest jurymen gives still a better hope of right than cross and pile does. It is left therefore, to the juries, if they think the permanent judges are under any bias whatever in any cause, to take on themselves to judge the law as well as the fact. They never exercise this power but when they suspect partiality in the judges; and by the exercise of this power they have been the firmest bulwarks of English liberty. [|[12]] " **
