The seventh Amendment gives the right to jury trial in most civil cases and stops court from rejecting jury's findings of facts. In this video they discuss the importance of the seventh amendment.

Peter Irons points out how compared to having a judge decide on a case jury will be more sympathetic towards the defendant.
