How have Belgium and Sri Lanka dealed with the question of power sharing differently?
Answers
Explanation:
Sri Lanka continued with their Majoritarian measures which later lead to a violent civil war. They continued to prefer the majority community (sinhalese) and neglected the needs of tamils.
Belgium changed their constitutin four times between 1970 to 1993 to accomodate a proper arrangement of power sharing.
1.)equal representation was given to french and dutch speaking people in union and central govt.
2.)Community govt. was introduced to take decision on linguistic matters
3.) Brussels(capital of belgium) was given seperate constitution and powers and it was not answerable to central or state govt.
i hope this is help you..
Answer:
The Belgium Constitution provides that the number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in the Central Government. Contrary to it, leaders of the Sinhala community in Sri Lanka sought to secure dominance over government by virtue of their majority and refused to share power with the Tamils.
