The 7th amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial in what type of suits?

  1. Criminal cases

  2. Civil suits involving $20 or more

  3. Federal cases only

  4. State cases only

The correct answer is: Civil suits involving $20 or more

The 7th amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial in civil suits where the amount of money involved is $20 or more. This means that in any civil case where a person or organization is seeking monetary compensation of $20 or more, the defendant has the right to a trial by jury. This does not pertain to criminal cases, which are handled differently in court. Additionally, it applies to both federal and state cases, meaning that this right is guaranteed in both types of court systems, not just one. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
