Worked practice questions

Belgium's central government has equal representation from:

  1. All citizens
  2. Dutch-speaking and French-speaking groups
  3. Catholics and Protestants
  4. Royal and elected representatives
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Dutch-speaking and French-speaking groups

1. Belgium's constitutional arrangement requires the central cabinet to have equal Dutch and French ministers. 2. This balance prevents one language community from dominating policy. 3. Special majority rules also apply for important laws. 4. So both linguistic groups are equally represented at the centre. 5. The German-speaking minority is much smaller and has limited representation at the centre. _Source: syllabus Democratic Politics II Ch 1 'Power Sharing'_
