Answer 2

Answer:

1. Equal number of ministers for both groups: According to the Belgian Constitution, the number of ministers who speak Dutch and French in the central government must be equal. Certain unique laws necessitate the support of the majority of people in each linguistic group. Therefore, no one community has the authority to act alone.
2. More authority for state governments: As part of the appropriate power-sharing structure, state governments for the two parts of the country received several of the federal government's powers. The central government was independent of the state governments.
3. Equal representation at the state and federal levels: A separate government has been established in Brussels with equal representation for both communities.
4. Establishment of local government:
5. A third type of government, known as "community government," exists in addition to the federal government and state governments. No matter where they live, the members of the Dutch, French, and German speaking communities elect this "community government." This government has the authority to address matters relating to culture, education, and language.
