Question

1. choose the true statements about the seventh amendment to the united states constitution. (select all that apply)

a. no matter the case, people involved in a civil case always have a right to a jury trial.
b. civil cases can be disputes between people or businesses.
c. civil cases typically involve money, property, or family matters, such as divorce.
d. after a jury decides the facts of a case, a judge can always overrule the jury’s decision when it is not unanimous.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Seventh Amendment gives the right to a jury trial in civil cases, but not all civil cases guarantee this right (e.g., small claims or cases where the right is waived), so A is false.
• Option B: Civil cases often involve disputes between individuals, businesses, or other entities, so B is true.
• Option C: Civil cases typically deal with matters like money, property, family issues (e.g., divorce), so C is true.
• Option D: A judge generally cannot overrule a jury's factual decision just because it's not unanimous; the Seventh Amendment preserves jury findings, so D is false.

Answer:

B. Civil cases can be disputes between people or businesses.
C. Civil cases typically involve money, property, or family matters, such as divorce.
