Freedom of speech. Hands down!
Without the right to protest and dissent, we are sheep to wolves.
Voicing your opinion was deemed a very moral right to Thomas Jefferson. The way he felt about it is this way....
Never censor an opinion, for if that opinion happens to be correct, and it is censored, we lose a bit of truth. If the opinion is wrong it is defeated with a better opinion and we gain a bit of truth with it's collision with error.
Very good question!

Freedom of speech without threat of violence or retaliation from the government and those in power. It's the most important freedom we have.

The ability to think and vote, not that your vote counts but the freedom is what most Americans want and think they have.

Freedom of speech.. It's incredible that we can say anything we want without consequences. No other place was like that throughout history. It's what makes our way of life better.

Liberty and the pursuit of happiness have to rank right up there. The things we value most could be in jeopardy if left-wing liberals are allowed back into the excutive branch!

My freedom to say (virtually) anything I want about the nation's policies, and not be arrested. Overall, any of the First Amendment rights.
