Detailed Solution

The leaders of Belgium realised the need to respect the feelings and interests of different communities and regions and thus promoted equality in power-sharing. The authorities of Belgium acknowledged the presence of regional and cultural variations. In contrast to other nations, Belgian officials devised a highly creative and unique solution. The constitution was altered between 1970 and 1993 to allow everyone to coexist in the same country and come to an agreement. According to the constitution, there will be an equal number of ministers who speak French or Dutch. According to some specific legislation, the support of a majority of individuals from each language group is required to ensure that decisions are not made unilaterally by one community. The state legislatures are independent of the federal government. State governments in the two parts of the nation have received much of the federal government's authority. The French-speaking community in Brussels accepted equal representation, just as the Dutch-speaking community had done in the Central Government. Brussels has a distinct government with equal representation for both communities.
