In the country of Belgium there were two main regions
The Wallonia region consisted of 49 percent of the people who spoke french......the Flemish region consisted of 50 percent of the people who spoke Dutch the other one percent of the people spoke german
In the capital Brussels however the majority of the people were french
So the Belgian government amended its constitution four times to reach the following arrangement
The number of french and Dutch ministers were of equal number I. The government
The french people agreed to accomodate the Dutch in the capital as long as the dutch agreed to have equal representation for the french
Also Brussels had its own constitution

MAY THIS HELP U MY FRND!!!!
In Belgium, leaders recognised the existence of regional differences and cultural diversities. The Belgian government accommodated its diverse ethnic population in the following manner:
Constitution says that the number of Dutch and French speaking ministers shall be equal in the Central government. Thus, no single community can make decisions unilaterally.
Many powers of the Central Government have been given to the state governments, of the two regions of the country. The state governments are not subordinate to the Central government.
Brussels has a separate government in which both the communities have equal representation.
There is a third kind of government, called the ‘community government’. This government is elected by the people belonging to one language community—Dutch, French and German speaking, no matter where they live. This government has the power regarding cultural education and language related issues.
These arrangements helped to avoid a civic strife between the two major communities and a possible division of the country on linguistic lines.
