What are good books, docs, or PDFs for US and Virginia Law? There is the Constitution and Bill of Rights, but are more modern documents available?

There is no such thing as a basic book or document that can provide a comprehensive guide to U.S. law.
American law is a sprawling patchwork of laws enacted at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels. It includes laws as enacted by legislatures, as promulgagted by executive agencies, and interpreted by judiciaries over two and a half centuries. It regulates virtually every facet of life, from the colors you may paint your house, to traffic regulation, to environmental protection, to basic human rights, to the president's authority to preemptively launch a nuclear war.
If there are specific areas of the law that you are intersted in, a more focused question would likely yield better results.
