Summarize the main points of the following article about the history of the United States: The United States of America is a country in North America, officially the United States of America, often referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America. It consists of 50 states and a federal district, the District of Columbia, which is the capital. The country also has five major self-governing territories. With a population of more than 332 million people, the United States is the third most populous country in the world. Located between Canada and Mexico, the United States spans a vast geographical area, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. The nation's origins can be traced back to the 15th century, when European explorers, primarily from England, arrived on the North American continent. By the 18th century, British colonies had been established along the Atlantic coast, and a growing sense of independence began to take hold among the colonists. In 1776, the Thirteen Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain, culminating in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783). The war resulted in the formation of the United States of America as an independent nation. In the early years of the nation, the newly formed government faced challenges in establishing a strong and unified system of governance. However, the Constitution of the United States, adopted in 1788, laid the foundation for a federal republic, divided power between the national government and the states, and ensured individual rights and freedoms. The 19th century saw significant territorial expansion, fueled by westward migration, the acquisition of new territories, and the displacement of indigenous peoples. The nation also grappled with slavery and its abolition, which led to the American Civil War (1861–1865), one of the most significant events in American history. The Civil War resulted in the abolition of slavery and the reunification of the nation. In the 20th century, the United States emerged as a global power, playing a key role in World War II and the Cold War. The nation also experienced significant social and economic changes, including the rise of the automobile, the development of the internet, and the Civil Rights Movement, which fought for equality and justice for all Americans. Today, the United States remains a global leader in areas such as technology, finance, and culture. Its diverse population and vibrant democracy continue to shape its identity as a nation built on the principles of freedom, opportunity, and equality.

Instruction: Summarize the four different views of Judaism held today based on the information found below.

Judaism today is descended from Rabbinic Judaism, that is, the Judaism that emerged after the destruction of the second temple by the Romans in 70 ce. This form of Judaism was centered around the Torah and the synagogue, instead of the temple. From the first century ce until the nineteenth century, there was basically only one way of being Jewish, and for the most part, by choice or not, it consisted of a life lived separated from the larger society.
With the growing secularization in nineteenth-century Western Europe, however, Jews became more active participants in “secular” society, even while maintaining their “sacred” practices and beliefs. Different interpretations of Judaism developed that guided the interplay between these sacred and secular worlds. Over time, these differences resulted in the four main branches of Judaism that exist today.
Orthodox Judaism is the modern term for what historically has been mainline Judaism: in other words, before the nineteenth century, Orthodox Judaism was Judaism, plain and simple. It is based on an understanding of the Torah as the unchangeable, inerrant revelation of God that provides the sole guide for all aspects of one’s daily life. Accordingly, Orthodox Jews meticulously observe Jewish law, that is, halakhah (literally “the way one walks”), which is based on an understanding that all 613 commandments within the Torah have been revealed as the direct, immutable will of God.
Reform Judaism emerged during the Enlightenment as some sought to “reform” Jewish thought and practice in light of new scientific developments, political ideas, and modernism. While Orthodox Judaism considers the Torah the unchanging divine command of God, Reform Judaism sees the Torah as written by “divinely inspired” human authors. The Torah—and the commandments therein—is regarded as instructional and inspirational, but not absolutely binding. Reform Judaism emphasizes obligation to the neighbor, care for the world, and the injunction to offer hospitality and care to all in need. All other aspects of Judaism are open to negotiation.
Conservative Judaism was founded as a response to what were viewed as overly radical changes in Reform Judaism: it was believed that while change was needed, Reform Judaism had moved too far too quickly. Conservative Judaism emphasizes on ritual practice, rather than specific doctrines. One of the distinguishing marks of Conservative Judaism, as opposed to Reform Judaism, is its preservation of the halakhic process when deciding how traditional interpretation of Jewish law might be changed. In that process, rabbis consult sacred scriptures and commentaries, rabbinic codes of law, and previous generations of rabbinical opinion, in order to craft a new reading for today.
Reconstructionist Judaism is the most recent to emerge. It holds that what is important about Judaism is not that everyone believes the same things about divine revelation, miracles, and God, or that people follow Jewish law in the same way. Instead, it sees the value of Judaism first as a cultural force uniting, supporting, and nurturing the Jewish people over time and space. As such, everything is open to debate and modification—all beliefs, all doctrines, all practices—according to the current needs of the Jewish community. Tradition is important as a way of maintaining community, but it has only a voice, not a veto—and, of course, there are many different views about how much of a vote tradition should have in any specific decision about Jewish life.
Response: Rabbinic Judaism, which emerged after 70 CE, focused on the Torah and the synagogue, instead of the temple. Nineteenth-century secularism resulted in the separation of four main branches of Judaism.

Orthodox Judaism believes that the Torah is the unchangeable, inerrant revelation of God and is the sole guide for daily life. As such, Orthodox Jews methodically follow Jewish law and the 613 commandments within the Torah.

Reform Judaism sees the Torah as written by “divinely inspired” human authors and uses it as instruction and inspiration that is open to negotiation.

Conservative Judaism, a response to Reform Judaism, emphasizes ritual practice over doctrines but uses rabbinic law and opinion, sacred scriptures, and commentaries, to craft change to traditional practices.

Reconstructionist Judaism, the latest to emerge, holds that not everyone has the same beliefs about divine revelation or Jewish law and that as a result everything is open to debate and modification, Judaism’s value is a cultural force that unites, supports, and nurtures the Jewish people.
