A. The community leaders of Belgium
B. The citizens of the whole country
C. By the leaders of Belgium
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Belgium has a population of people from different regions and cultural backgrounds. Hence to prevent the arousal of any strife between the different communities existing in the country, the concept of community government is introduced.

Complete answer:
In Belgium, to make it possible for people from all different communities to co-exist peacefully together, a setup of community government is in place wherein no single community can make decisions independently. The Community Government of Belgium consists of the Dutch, German and French Speaking communities. Similar to the central and state governments, the community government enjoys powers of making decisions with respect to culture, education and language related issues. The power may also be shared among different social groups such as the religious and linguistic groups. This method of governance is used to give minority communities a parity in power.
The Community Government is elected by the members of the different linguistic communities existing in the country.
Therefore, all the three options are incorrect.

The correct answer is option (D) none of the above.

Note: The provision of this kind of government helped to avoid civic strife between the two major communities in Belgium’s past. The Constitution of Belgium is the primary source of law and the basis of the political system of the Country. It was established on February 7, 1831.
King Philippe is the seventh and presently serving king of Belgium.The King of Belgium is the head of state and the Prime Minister of Belgium acts as the head of government.
