Between 1970 and 1993, the Belgians amended their constitution four times so as to work out an arrangement that would enable everyone to live together within the same country.  2. Here are some of the elements of the Belgian model of accommodation:   The Constitution prescribes that the number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in the central government. Many powers of the central government have been given to state governments of the two regions of the country. Brussels has a separate government in which both the communities have equal representation. Apart from the Central and State Government, there is a third kind of government called Community government which is elected by people belonging to one language community no matter where they live. This government has the power regarding cultural, educational and language-related issues.
