Answer:
The importance of equality.
The importance of freedom.
Explanation:
"Four Freedoms" by President Roosevelt listed the four important freedoms that every man must be given- freedom of speech, worship, and freedom from want and fear. These, to the President, are necessary for any nation to flourish and for the people to live their lives.
Likewise, President Lincoln's speech at "Gettysburg" also expounded on the same values of freedom. His statement<em> "all men are equal" </em>and that the dedication of that space (Gettysburg) is important for the men who gave their lives for the security of others shows his belief and emphasis on the importance of freedom and equality.
Thus, the correct answers are freedom and equality.
