Seventh Amendment

"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."

This amendment guarantees the right to a trial by jury in civil cases. It allows for the civil cases to be ruled by impartial juries of peers.

Here's a clip for a play called "trial by jury."
