The original Seventh Amendment is an anachronism with very little relating to the modern day. It stated that legal claims regarding sums of money over $20 need to be reviewed by a court of law (back then $20 was a significant amount of money). In today’s world it has been interpreted to better suit appropriate values. Any claims below this amount need not be resolved in federal court. Its purpose is to prevent the court’s time from being squandered on insignificant matters.
