We may weep for the 7th amendment, which guaranteed the right to a trial by jury in disputes, as long having been bypassed and a currently dead amendment.
Alexender Hamilton: "The civil jury is a valuable safeguard to liberty."
Thomas Jefferson: "Another apprehension is that a majority cannot be induced to adopt the trial by jury; and I consider that as the only anchor, ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of it’s constitution."
They tried, but greed is too strong. You've lost the right to a trial by jury. What little bit is left is dead under mandatory binding arbitration.
