1) equality of people.
The Virginia Declaration of Rights states that "all men are by nature equally free" - this is an important American value that is also reflected in the US constitution

2)limited government

Virginia Declaration of Rights states that the government (which takes its power from the people, another American value) cannot abuse its power and cannot execute laws without the consent of the people through their representatives- that is, the government must be democratic.

Two examples of American values seen in the Virginia Declaration of Rights:

freedom of speech / freedom of the pressfreedom of religion

Explanation:

Compare the quoted sections of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776) with the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution (adopted in 1791). I've bolded the most pertinent points of similarity.

Virginia Declaration of Rights, Section 12:

That the freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained but by despotick governments.

Virginia Declaration of Rights, Section 16:

That religion, or the duty which we owe to our CREATOR and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other.

1st Amendment, US Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
