Detailed Solution

1)      The French-speaking community in Belgium was rich and powerful compared to the Dutch-speaking people in the 1960s/1970s. It led to ethnic and regional differences. Belgian politicians found a unique and imaginative idea to solve this issue.
2)      The Belgian government adopted a power-sharing model based on equal representation of all the communities. Specific rules needed the support of most members from each linguistic group to ensure that a single community did not make unilateral decisions.
3)      Thus, both the Assertion and Reason are accurate, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
