Answer 1

The main elements of Belgium model of power sharing are:-

- Constitution prescribes that the numbers of Dutch and French speaking ministers shall be equal in the central government.

- Many powers of the central government have been given to 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.

- Apart from the Central and the State government, there is a third kind of government. This 'community government ' is elected by people belonging to one language community - Dutch,French and German speaking - no matter where they live.
