AMENDMENT VII " In suits at common law , where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved , and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law." Meaning: This amendment  basically protects citizens as well as ensuring that citizens have the right to have a courtroom whether is a common law or civil law court. This amendment also states that to sue someone it has to be 20.00 or more in the Unites States courtroom. This picture was quit funny and summed up a part of the 7th amendment stating that to sue it has to be 20.00! I think this is funny and understandably for kids.

TWENTY-SEVENTH AMENDMENT:) " No law varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect until an election of Representatives shall have intervened." Meaning: This amendment states that those in Congress can't themselves a pay raise this also deals with the decrease in pay wages. This image was kind of ironic because it shows that our economy is messed up in  so many ways and instead of them doing things to improve it they think of themselves and just want more money that could go towards something else. This does a pretty good job of explaining the 27th amendment for dummies!:)
