Constitution 101 ...A Jury of free people is the protection of the free person.
Amendment 7
"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."
This one works on several ideas: The Absolute power of the jury and the protection of the right of private property.
In England at one point the judge,who was paid by the king could set aside the ruling if the king did not like it. "What to keep ye old job judge?..Doeth the right verdict"
This forbids that. Once the jury rules, in most cases, that is it.
It protects a person's right of ownership by ensuring the right to a jury, if for any reason his or her goods are taken. Remember the right to own means the right of food and the control of your food makes you free.
