Answer to Question 1

The benefits received principle means that the individuals receiving the benefits are those who pay for them. Although this principle may work for some private goods, it does not work well for public goods such as national defense and the judicial system. Because we collectively consume national defense, it is not possible to find out who benefits and by exactly how much.
