Final answer:

The statement in question is true. The Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a trial by jury in civil suits where the value in controversy exceeds twenty dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement in question is true.

The quoted text is from the Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution. It states that in civil suits where the value in controversy exceeds twenty dollars, the right to a trial by jury is protected. Furthermore, any facts tried by a jury cannot be reexamined in any court except in accordance with the rules of common law.

This amendment ensures that individuals have the opportunity to have their cases heard by a jury of their peers and that the factual determinations made by a jury are respected and not arbitrarily set aside.
