Why the Founders Didn’t Trust Judges | The 7th Amendment & Jury Power

The 7th Amendment guarantees your right to a jury in civil cases — but why was that such a big deal to the Founders?

In this episode of Are You Smarter Than a Libertarian, Jeff breaks down why angry farmers in powdered wigs were more trustworthy than royal judges, how landmark Supreme Court cases expanded jury rights, and what all of this means in 2025 — from gig worker lawsuits to data breach class actions.
