Why has Judaism not recognized anyone as a prophet since the construction of the second temple of Jerusalem?
In viewing the history of the Jewish people, we can distinguish various epochs. These include the time of the Forefathers, the Judges, the Prophets, the Sages of the Mishna, the Gaonim of the Babylonian Yeshivot, and more. The end of an old epoch and beginning of a new one is invariably linked to a concept which states that earlier generations of our Sages tend to be on a higher spiritual level than the later ones (Talmud, Shabbat 112b). Once every three or four centuries, it becomes apparent to the greatest Torah-scholars that they, collectively, can no longer compare to the previous recent generations, and a new era has begun. The end of prophecy marked one such palpable transition. In addition, from Second-Temple times and onward, none of the Sages claimedprophecy, since they were honest people and they knew that what the Prophets had experienced was no longer happening.Within a couple of decades after the last visitations of prophecy, the Sages convened a synod known as the Men of the Great Assembly, and they closed the canon of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). This was around 340 BCE.
What are the three main groups that made up the jewish sanhedrin?
scribesphariseessadduceesAnswer:The above answer needs clarification.1) The scribes and the Pharisees are the same thing.2) Sadducees were among the Sanhedrin only for a relatively brief period of several decades of turmoil during the Second Temple period, after Alexander Yannai killed many Torah-sages (see Talmud, Kiddushin 66a). Other than that time, the Sanhedrin consisted only of the leading Torah-sages. (The word "pharisees" is a corruption [by Josephus] of a Hebrew word and is not used in traditional Torah-sources.)

Which group of Jews led the fight to resist roman rule?
It was the group of Jews lead by Shimon Bar-Kokhba, around 132 CE.Answer:The group who fought Roman rule in 68 CE were the Zealots, led by Abba Sikra. They are mentioned in the Talmud (Gittin 56a) as being headstrong and irresponsible. The Torah-Sages cautioned them against taking action, but to no avail (ibid). Two generations later, it was Shimon Bar Kokhba who led an ill-fated rebellion against the Romans (135 CE), against the counsel of most of the Torah-Sages. In both cases, myriads of Jews were killed, thanks to the rebels' having ignored the Torah-sages.
