Answer 2

The number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers are equal in the central government. Some special laws require the support of majority of members from each linguistic group. Thus, no single community can make decisions unilaterally.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. The French- speaking people accepted equal representation in Brussels because the Dutch-speaking community has accepted equal representation in the Central Government.Apart from the Central and the State Government, there is a third kind of government. This community government is elected bypeople belonging to one language community Dutch, French and German-speaking no matter where they live. This government has the power regarding cultural, educational and language-related issues
