Trouillot describes the positivist view of history. Which statement below best summarizes his description?

While history certainly has its negative aspects, we should emphasize the positive in order to learn lessons from the past about what works, and in order to avoid a depressing cynicism.

History is the product of scientific study of the facts of the past, attempting to maintain as much objectivity as possible in order to get at the truth of what actually happened and why.

History is the product of power, and ergo the only facts we'll be able to access are those elites permit us to see.
