What does the seventh amendment guarantee?

Answer 1

The right for a citizen to have a trial by jury in civil suits for an amounts in excess of $20. The majority of US states have established laws that disallow a trial by jury in many civil cases. The basic fact is no state can enact a law which infringes on or takes away the constitutional right of person. That means that a person has the right if they wish to go through the legal process of challenging a state law that directly relate to the matter. The use of the Fourteenth Amendment is the way in which the majority of state laws are challenged as being unconstitutional on the grounds of selective incorporation.
The 7th amendment protects your right to have a trial by jury.

Answer 2

The seventh amendment, "Trial by jury in civil cases", pretty much applies to testimonies that don't directly break a law.

It's like saying someone destroys your car that's worth 50k.

It's not exactly breaking a law, but the car is worth 50k, so you can sue the person for that money.

If the person STOLE your car, it'd be considered breaking a law, and Amendment 6 would apply.

*Note- 7th amendment only works if the item damaged/broke/etc. is worth at least $20.
