Question

"Both Belgium and Sri Lanka are democracies but they follow different systems of power sharing".
Support the statement by giving three points of differences.

Answer 1

Explanation:

(a) According to Belgium’s Constitution, the Dutch and the French-speaking minister should be an equal number in the central government. Hence no single community can make the decision unilaterally. Contrary to it, leaders of Sinhala community in Sri Lanka sought to secure dominance over the government by virtue of their majority and refused to share power with Tamils.

(b) In Belgium, some of the powers of the central government are transferred to the State government. Hence the state government is not the subordinate of the central government. But in Sri Lanka, the democratically elected government

(c) In Belgium, there is no discrimination between religions. But in Sri Lanka, a new Constitution declares that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Though both the countries are democratic they follow different systems of power-sharing because:

1. In the case of Sri Lanka, the government follows preferential policies regarding the matters of government, jobs and education. Whereas in Belgium, the government has no such preferential policies regarding the matters of jobs and education.
2. In Sri Lanka, the major political parties are not responsive to the language and culture of Tamils residing there. In, Belgium there exists a special government known as 'Community Government' to give importance to cultural, linguistic and educational issues.
3. There is no religious discrimination in Belgium whereas in Sri Lanka Buddhism is considered the official religion.
