Question: 1 / 400

Which amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a trial by jury in civil cases?

First Amendment.

Fourth Amendment.

Sixth Amendment.

Seventh Amendment.

The Seventh Amendment guarantees the right to a trial by jury in civil cases. This amendment was created to ensure that citizens are protected against unfair judgments made by judges or the government. The First Amendment is incorrect because it guarantees freedom of speech, religion, press, and petition. The Fourth Amendment guarantees protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial in criminal cases. Therefore, the Seventh Amendment is the only option that guarantees the right to a trial by jury in civil cases.
