From student: JS The American Revolution resulted in the independence of America from Great Britain.

"The American Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen on August 26, 1789. The two documents are monuments of Enlightenment thinking, both looking to the writings of John Locke for inspiration, and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen was influenced as well by the American Declaration of Independence" (Sayre 2013). Both revolutions were the result of philosophers who embarked on the principle freedom of assembly and speech. The revolution played a role in both culture and governmental structure. As a result of the revolution, the governmental structure changed because Americans no longer had to abide by the British Crown, and were able to form and independent government. Culture was impacted by the revolution as well, which was seen in the violence that still continued to exist after the revolution. In the South, there was a lot of bloodshed after the war (NPR, 2015). Gangs of revolutionaries and loyalists would attack one another and invade each other’s plantations (NPR, 2015). This shift in culture was due to the loyalists being fearful of what protection they would receive since Great Britain was no longer in control.

Consider the role of revolution in governmental structure and
culture. Provide an example from the reading for the week or
your experience visiting the National Archives to explain the
relationship between philosophy and political action.
From student: JS
The American Revolution resulted in the independence of
America from Great Britain. This independence was achieved
when the American Declaration of Independence which was
signed on July 4, 1776. When looking at this historic document,
one can see that it supports Enlightenment thinking due to its
assertion of freedom (Sayre, 2013, p. 378). In chapter 12 Sayre
mentions the French and American revolution. "The American
Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, and
the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen on
August 26, 1789. The two documents are monuments of
Enlightenment thinking, both looking to the writings of John
Locke for inspiration, and the French Declaration of the Rights
of Man and Citizen was influenced as well by the American
Declaration of Independence" (Sayre 2013). Both revolutions
were the result of philosophers who embarked on the principle
freedom of assembly and speech. The revolution played a role
in both culture and governmental structure. As a result of the
revolution, the governmental structure changed because
Americans no longer had to abide by the British Crown, and
were able to form and independent government. Culture was
impacted by the revolution as well, which was seen in the
violence that still continued to exist after the revolution. In the
South, there was a lot of bloodshed after the war (NPR, 2015).
Gangs of revolutionaries and loyalists would attack one another
and invade each other’s plantations (NPR, 2015). This shift in
culture was due to the loyalists being fearful of what protection
they would receive since Great Britain was no longer in control.

2. Philosophy and political action were both tied in to the
aftermath as well, as seen in the Declaration of Independence.
The philosophy was that the Law of Nature and of Nature’s God
entitle the people to have the rights of life, liberty, and
happiness (Sayre, 2013, p. 379).

Assignment 1 (Unsupervised, Supervised, and Reinforced
Machine Learning algorithms):
Establish the beginning of a machine learning proposal that
would recommend the use of machine learning algorithms in a
practical and real-world scenario. For this opportunity, provide
the background on the nature of the opportunity, give potential
data to be used, and clearly articulate the desired goal and
outcome. Ensure data are available for this solution because you
will be modeling with it in Week 4. Potential data sources can
be found at data.gov, kaggle.com, and many others. This
proposal will be communicated to both a technical and
nontechnical audience.
During Week 1, you will establish the foundation and shell
document for your final assignment (your machine learning
proposal that will be applied to a practical and real-world
scenario).
The project deliverables include the following:
· Identify a machine learning opportunity

3. · Provide the background on the opportunity and why machine
learning will benefit the scenario.
· Discuss the data to be used within the opportunity.
· Clearly articulate the desired outcome when successful
machine learning is applied.
· Discuss 3 potential algorithms that could be used.
· Discuss the data assumptions for these algorithms.
· Discuss how algorithm performance will be evaluated.
· Include code examples when necessary.
The draft paper should be 10–12 pages, including empty
sections. It should be formatted using APA style and include at
least 2 references. This week, you will create 3–4 pages of
original content.
Assignment 2 ( Unsupervised, Understanding the role of
algorithms in data visualization):
During Week 2, you will extend the machine learning proposal
that recommends the use of machine learning algorithms in
a practical and real-world scenario. For each of the 3 identified
algorithms in Week 1, provide at least 1 visualization technique
to illustrate the use and benefit of visualization. Include
examples as necessary to support the proposed visualizations.
Using the partially completed template you created last week,

4. add 3–4 pages of new content. It should be formatted using APA
style and include at least 2 references.
Assignment 3(Algorithms for Streaming Data):
During Week 3, you will extend the machine learning proposal
to provide information and an approach for utilizing streaming
data.
The project deliverables must include the following:
· Streaming data
· Discuss the differences in streaming data over static data. In
this discussion, include what differs when algorithms utilize
streaming data versus static data.
· Discuss how any challenges may be overcome to ensure
performance and the use of the algorithm across streaming data.
· For the identified machine learning opportunity, determine if
streaming data may be available, and discuss how it would be
utilized.
Using the partially completed template created in Week 1 and
extended in Week 2, add 3–4 pages of new content. It should be
formatted using APA style and include at least 2 references.
Assignment 4 (Algorithms for Practical Use):
During Week 4, you will extend the machine learning proposal
to include a prototyped algorithm for the proposed solution.
The project deliverables for Week 4 must include the following:
· A flowchart that is relevant to the steps of the machine
learning process, from data ingest through communicating the
results or taking actions based on the findings of the prototyped
solution.
· A discussion of the data characteristics, chosen algorithm,
visualization(s) for the algorithm, and code for the algorithm(s).
· Any code or screenshots, as well as the visualization outputs
for the prototype.
Using the partially completed template created in Week 1 and

5. extended in Weeks 2 and 3, add 3–4 pages of new content. It
should be formatted using APA style and include at least 2
references.
Assignment 5(Demonstration and Communication of Algorithm
use):
During Week 5, you will extend the machine learning proposal
to include an executive summary. Additionally, you will create
a summary presentation of 8–10 content slides that
communicate the role of machine learning to a nontechnical
audience.
The project deliverables for Week 5 include the following:
· 1-page executive summary of the machine learning proposal.
Your total machine learning proposal should be 13–16 pages
long.
· Summary presentation
· Include 8–10 content slides in addition to the title and
reference slide
