Detailed Solution

The leaders of Belgium acknowledged the presence of regional disparities and cultural diversity. They changed their constitution four times between 1970 and 1993 to devise a solution allowing everyone to live together in the same country. They realised that the land could be united only by respecting the feelings and interests of all communities. According to the Belgian model, the number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers in the central government must be equal. The state governments in the country's two regions have been given many of the federal government's powers. The state legislatures are independent of the federal government. Brussels has a distinct government with equal representation for both communities. There is also a third type of government, community government, in addition to the central and state governments.
Thus, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
