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.
