Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (property) ... those are the most critical to who we are as Americans.

Off the top of my head, I'd say:
1 - individual freedom - liberty (conscience, speech, habeas corpus, property - all under this rubric)
2 - citizenship - representative government (citizen is the oposite of subject)
3 - equality (originally only across a small portion of humanity, now expanded to cover a somewhat larger portion) (overlaps with liberty in the case of slavery)
