The correct answers are:

- Trial by jury
The rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights are:
1. Free speech
2. Trial by jury
To determine which rights are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, we can go through each option and see if it is mentioned in the Bill of Rights.
1. Voting: The right to vote is not explicitly stated in the Bill of Rights. Instead, it is protected under several amendments, such as the 15th Amendment which prohibits discrimination based on race, the 19th Amendment which grants women the right to vote, and the 26th Amendment which lowers the voting age to 18.
2. Free speech: Yes, the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees the right to freedom of speech.
3. Trial by jury: Yes, the Sixth Amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees the right to a fair trial by an impartial jury.
4. Running for office: The right to run for office is not specifically mentioned in the Bill of Rights. However, it is implied under the broader principles of freedom of assembly and freedom of expression.
5. Freedom of contract: The Bill of Rights does not explicitly mention the right to freedom of contract. However, it can be argued that this right is protected under the broader principle of freedom of association and private property rights.
6. Pursuit of happiness: While the phrase "pursuit of happiness" is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, it is not explicitly mentioned in the Bill of Rights.
Based on the analysis above, the two rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights are free speech and trial by jury.
