Question

"Writing history of common people has become a challenge to
historians." Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

To the extent that we depend on written sources, we’re looking at documents generated to a considerable extent by the elites or upper classes, who were, if not the only people who knew how to write, the only ones who kept records. With effort, historians of the West can find sources for the common folk, such as letters written home during the Civil War

Answer 2

Answer:

Writing the history of common people has become a challenge to historians. ... There was a history of the Medici—can't recall the name—which detailed what the Medici had to do to keep on top. That meant keeping the common people sullen but not mutinous.
