what a primary source has is something easier to get such as a diary, manuscript, or a autobiography well such as a secondary source is something that relates to what you’re looking for, such as document or something that was told information some place else

One important advantage that primary soruces have over secondary sources is that primary sources offer a firsthand account of an event - b, which isn't the case with secondary sources. Although this leaves primary sources prone to being biased compared to secondary sources.
