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 reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
This amendment protects against the will of a single judge. It places more power in the hands of the people. Scholars have used this amendment as the basis of the idea that everyone is guaranteed the right to a trial by “a jury of one’s peers.” Just like "innocent until proven guilty," the phrase "jury of one's peers" does not appear anywhere in the Constitution.
There is great debate about how fairly juries decide cases, or how much of their verdicts are based on personal prejudices and feelings. In general, however, it is thought that putting this power in the hands of the people is better than putting it in the hands of a single judge.
What is the main purpose of the last paragraph of this passage?
A It defines the phrase "jury of one's peers."
B It argues that a single judge should decide cases.
C It defines several legal terms used in the Seventh Amendment.
D It outlines the debate over how fair a “jury of one’s peers” is.
