Answer to Question 1

A free-trade agreement eliminates duties and trade barriers between the countries making the agreement in order to increase trade between them.

Answer to Question 2

A progressive tax follows the ability to pay principle with wealthier persons paying a larger percentage that less wealthy persons. A regressive tax charges the same percentage to all persons regardless of ability to pay.
