Answer 1

Explanation:

There were tensions because:

1. The minority French-speaking community was relatively rich and powerful.
2. This was resented by the dutch speaking community who got the benefit of economic development and much later.
3. This led to the tensions between the two communities during 1950s and 1960s.
4. Brussels was a big problem for the dutch speaking people because for the whole country they are in majority but in Brussels they are in minority.

Accomadation policy:

1. Constitution prescribes thag the no.of dutch people and french people ministers shall be equal in the central govt.
2. many powers of the central govt have been given to state govts of the two region of the country.
3. Brussels has a seperate govt in which both the communities have equal representation.
4. Apart from the central and state govt,there is a third kind of govt.This is called community govt.Representatives are elected by people belonging to one language community ( including german speaking community) .This govt look after linguistic, cultural and educational related issues.
