    I actually think this is a tough question. An argument could be made for discovery and settlement but the shapeing of culture and ideas is what brought about the revolution and the Constitution.

    I don't really understand the question.  These all influenced (I'm assuming Jamestown as well) America's formation, so in that sense they're all “cornerstones”.  Is this what you're asking?

    The Great Awakening is arguably the most important in terms of developing an intercolonial culture as it transcended colonial boundaries.  The Mayflower Compact planted the seeds for constitutional government.  These two got my votes.
