What's the benefits of using the method which is using “new()” over the one not using “new()” with where clause in the method in c#?

There are two methods which does the same task. The only difference in them is one has "new()" and other does not have.

The methods are:

Method 1:

public void Method1<T>(BaseReportContent content) where T : BaseReportContent, new()
{
   //Codes
}

Method 2:

public void Method2<T>(BaseReportContent content) where T : BaseReportContent
{
   //Codes
}

What is the benefits of using one over another?
