Answer:
In Belgium, the minority French-speaking community was more rich and powerful than the Dutch-speaking community. The Belgian leaders realized this problem and took some significant measures to solve this as follows
(i) Number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in the Central Government.
(ii) Many powers of the Central Government are given to State Governments.
(iii) Brussels has a separate government in which both the communities have equal representation.
(iv) Community Government is elected by people belonging to one language community that deals with cultural, educational, and language-related issues.
