The 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 is the right to a jury except for petty cases that are less than twenty dollars or today's equivalent.
I chose this video to emphasize a petty case that does not involve a jury and would be a jury's waste of time.
I chose this video to question the right to a jury for all people. The state law does not allow for jury trials, is this common?
