Answer 1

Belgium amend the constitution four times to decrease the possibility of civil war

Answer 2

Answer:

 Between 1970 and 1993, they amended their constitution

four times so as to work out an arrangement that would

enable everyone to live together within the same county.

The arrangement they worked out is different from any

other country and is very innovative.

 The minority French speaking community was relatively

rich and powerful. This was resented by the Dutch

speaking community who got the benefit of economic

development and education much later.

 The leaders of Belgium recognised the existence of

regional difference and cultural diversities.

 Constitution prescribes that the number of Dutch and

French speaking ministers shall be equal in the central

government.

 Some powers of the central government have been given

to the state governments of the two regions of the county.

government. Brussels has a separate government in which

both the communities have equal representation.
