How do you rewrite the seventh amendment in fifth grade words?
In 5th grade words? I shall help you out. The 7th Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a JURY TRIAL as long as the amount of money in question in the lawsuit exceeds $20. I know. $20 seems to be a really small amount, but remember that this Amendment was ratified into law on December 15, 1791. That's over 200 years ago. $20 back then was a fortune. Basically it's when you hear someone in court say i plead the fifth which a label commonly used in the U.S. to relate to self-incrimination.

It means that the federal government can't create new powers for itself. New federal government powers, like creating the IRS, must be approved by the states or the people.

The Seventh Amendment to the Constitution reads "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." What this means is that a person has the right to a trial in all cases that exceed the value of $20.00. The second part of the amendment ensures that a person that has already had a trial for a crime cannot be tried for the same crime a second time.
