Answer:
Do you mean the limitations of the census data in censuses carried out by the government in the 18th century?
Limitations of the census data in censuses carried out by the government in the 18th century were:
- Classification of people into categories was often arbitrary and failed to notice overlapping identities.
- All deaths were not registered, so it was difficult to collect figures of mortality and death due to diseases.
- People refused to cooperate with census officials and answers given were often incorrect.
- People involved in two trades claimed identities associated with a higher status.
