Answer to Question 1

Consideration is the inducement, price, or promise that causes a person to enter into a contract and forms the basis for the parties' exchange. Contracts must be a two-way street. If one side gets all the benefit and the other side gets nothing, then an agreement lacks consideration and is not an enforceable contract. Consideration is proof that the parties intended to be bound to their promises. There are two basic elements of consideration: value and bargained-for exchange.

Answer to Question 2
