Answer to Question 1

Private property rights mean that individuals can own businesses and assets, and their ownership is secure. Private property rights are conducive to economic prosperity, because when they exist, citizens do not have to worry about the government or someone else taking away their assets arbitrarily. This provides an incentive to innovate, and improve efficiency of production that leads to economic prosperity.
