The Bill of Rights, which comprises the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, guarantees several specific rights. From the options you've provided, the ones that are included in the Bill of Rights are:

  • Free speech (First Amendment)
  • Trial by jury (Sixth Amendment)

The other options, such as voting, running for office, freedom of contract, and pursuit of happiness, are not explicitly guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Voting rights are addressed in other amendments, but are not part of the original Bill of Rights. Similarly, while the pursuit of happiness is a foundational principle of the Declaration of Independence, it is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
