The Seventh Amendment guarantees that court cases are decided by a jury of ordinary citizens rather than by a judge. This system is meant to ensure that each average citizen's voice carries as much weight as that of a wealthy individual, corporation, or government. Unfortunately, that isn't always the outcome. This book explores the Seventh Amendment's development, from its early history to its application in cases today.
