The Founding Fathers valued liberty most, as it was seen as essential for individual rights and freedoms. They believed that a government should protect these liberties while promoting equality and justice for all citizens. Democracy was also important, as it allowed for the representation of the people's will, but it was the protection of individual liberties that underpinned their vision for the nation. Overall, these principles were interlinked, but liberty was the cornerstone of their ideals.
