Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The benefit principle states that the people who benefit from the government's expenditures should be the ones who pay for them. Two real world examples of taxes that have features based on the benefit principle are entry fees for public parks and tolls for government turnpikes. The benefit principle is difficult to apply in all situations because it is often difficult to determine who is actually benefiting from a government activity and it is often in conflict with other goals such as redistribution.
