In honor of Constitution Day, we are highlighting seven ways the 7th Amendment has made America safer.
For those of you without a pocket Constitution, the 7th Amendment is your right to a trial by jury. It allows you to access the civil justice system and hold corporations accountable when they injure and kill innocent Americans, pollute our environment and endanger our children. As we know all too well, if no one is accountable, no one is safe.
