Answer:

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.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the right to a jury trial applies to cases brought under federal statutes that prohibit race or gender discrimination in housing or employment. But importantly, the Seventh Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial only in federal court, not in state court.

In an even simpler way it just means that when you go to court or trial (whatever you want to call it) it is only in the federal court and that nobody not even the jury can racially (or gender) discriminate you or anyone else you have equal rights just like everyone else

I hope that helped.

Answer:

here you go

Step-by-step explanation:

This amendment codifies the right to a jury trial in certain civil cases and inhibits courts from overturning a jury's findings of fact.
