The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial for criminal proceedings, but not for misdemeanors (even if there are "multiple petty crimes" involved).

The Seventh Amendment allows for a jury trial in civil cases exceeding $20, but is not one of incorporated rights applied to the states under the Fourteenth Amendment. Since federal civil trials are usually for amounts in excess of $75,000, the $20.00 threshold is virtually meaningless in the 21st century.
