Explain how and why historians use organizing principles to make sense of the past

The past is made of innumerable items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. As such, the past is an exploration of details that may not have been related in any way. However, the human mind search for organization to understand concepts and other things. The human mind therefore seeks relationships in clarifying and studying the past. History being a humanity, orders that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. Historians do this by making explanatory frameworks that depict as many details as possible.
