People's 'Divine Right' Basic U.S. Philosophy (Editor's note: The Declaration of Independence is one of the most magnificent documents of all time. It's hope, philosophy and creed have inspired men of all races in all lands who yearn for freedom and cherish liberty. It is a mighty weapon in our arsenal of freedom and one which we have employed only on a limited basis in our struggle to set men free and battle communism. For these reasons, among many, we are presenting the major portion of a Fourth of July speech by James Mussatti, one-time professor of American history at the University of Southern California, for years General Manager of the State Chamber of Commerce. Mussatti has made many contributions to his state and country, but above all else he is a great dedicated and practicing American. Virgil Piukley Editor and Publisher SAN MATEO — The Declaration of Independence is the greatest document given to the world since the publication of the Bible because it remains to this day as the most eloquent defense of popular rule that you can find in the English language. Jefferson, who was the author of the Declaration, gave it a quality of timelessness and a quality of universality which makes its philosophy as sound in 1776 as it was in 1775. He made a powerful attack on monarchy as an institution of government. He extolled the virtues of a republic. He pointed out that the cause of America was really the cause of entire mankind. By the first of April of 1776, 120,000 copies of the book were sold. It is estimated that over 500,000 copies were sold during the years 1776 and 1777. If we apportion this to the population of the United States today it would mean the publication of 46,000,000 copies. The matter of the issuance of a statement of independence came before Congress on June 7, 1776. The committee delegated the task of drafting the Declaration to its chairman, Thomas Jefferson. The author was a young man, 33 years of age, a fine penman, noted as a scientist but he was not a very good public speaker. He was of a nervous disposition and his nervousness is carried over into the language of the Declaration of Independence. It is interesting to note that the epitaph on Jefferson's tomb at his home at Monticello lists the three things by which Jefferson wanted to be remembered to his posterity — "Author of the Declaration of Independence — of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom — Father of the University of Virginia." No mention is to be found of the fact that he was our Ambassador to France, the first Secretary of State under the Constitution, Governor of Virginia, Vice President of the United States and President of the United States invariably the same type of evinces a design to reduce under absolute Despotism, their right, it is their duty throw off such Government to provide new Guards for future security." The right to representation the determination of the district property is an inherent right, which no authority can away. People are the basis political authority. No person good enough to govern any person except with the other son's consent. When we celebrate the Fifth of July, we are not only celebrating the Declaration of Independence but we are commemorating the 56 Americans who in 1776 courage to stand together this philosophy. The job of government is protect freedom and to foster growth of the nation, not to if and not to destroy the institution of human freedom. What the 56 framers of the Declaration of Independence had down to their posterity. They a great faith — faith in themself — faith in the cause of the Revolution — faith in the future nation and faith in God. "Presented a challenge to us," presented a challenge to us, "challenge is the ability to maintain freedom." Freedom today is more seriously threatened than at any time in our history. We are living in world where moral principle ruthlessly ridiculed; and there are people within our own land... Jefferson, who was the author of the Declaration, gave it a quality of timelessness and a quality of universality which makes its philosophy as sound in 1963 as it was in 1776. The greatest event in American history and one of the greatest events in the history of the world was the independence of the United States of America. As a result of that independence, we brought more freedom to more people in a larger area for a longer time than any other nation that ever existed in this world of ours. The men who gave us the Declaration of Independence were not just simply repudiating a king, they were founding and establishing a republic. They were denying the divine right of kings by establishing what I choose to term the divine right of the people. The movement for independence started to gain support in the early days of November 1775. On January 9, 1776, Thomas Paine published his pamphlet "Common Sense". In this little booklet he pointed out that there must be immediate independence. He at montecillo lists the three things by Jefferson wanted to be remembered to his posterity — "Author of the Declaration of Independence — of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom — Father of the University of Virginia." No mention is to be found of the fact that he was our Ambassador to France, the first Secretary of Stat under the Constitution, Governor of Virginia, Vice President of the United States and President of the United States. It was Jefferson who said "I swear upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the minds and the lives of men." On July 1, 1776, Jefferson completed the task of drafting the Declaration and turned it over for suggestions and corrections to Adams and Franklin. On July 3 and July 4, 1776, there was a debate on the Declaration itself. The debate raged all day. But on the afternoon of July 4th, 12 of the states voted in favor of the Declaration of Independence as we know it now. It was ordered embossed on July 19 when the 13th state — New York — acquiesced in the Declaration. The first signatures were affixed to the document on August 2 and the balance of them on August 27 and September 4, 1776. The purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to justify the American Revolution. We must never forget the dramatic words of the preamble "When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the cause which impel them to the separation. The paragraphs which contain the philosophy of the Declaration are the paragraphs that are universal and timeless. Where can you find a better expression of the philosophy under which this country operates — a philosophy which was better understood in 1776 than in 1963. Hear once again the immortal paragraph of the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are at montecillo lists the three things by Jefferson wanted to be remembered to his posterity — "Author of the Declaration of Independence — of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom — Father of the University of Virginia."

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. — that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long establish dshould not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are most disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Company funded, the N16 Lightweight Autonavigator is scheduled to be ready for production in late 1963 after an intensive period of flight testing. Its design represents another major Autonetics achievement in inertial navigation technology — a combination of reliability producing microelectronics, flexibility and compactness, according to H. J. Engebretson, N16 project engineer. N16 performance will reflect high-reliability techniques pioneered by Autonetics in the U.S. Air Force Minuteman ICBM program. Now a standard of the aerospace industry, these techniques also have been utilized by Autonetics in the Navy's Polaris submarines' SINS (Ships Inertial Navigator Systems) and the Air Force GAM-77 (Hound Dog) air-to-surface missiles, Engebretson said.
