Story of Belgium
Belgium is a very small European nation. It has a populace of about ten million people. About 59% of the country’s overall population resides in the Flemish area and speaks Dutch. Another 40% of the population lives in Wallonia and speaks French. The remaining 1% of Belgians speak German. The small French-speaking population was wealthy and influential. This was opposed by the Dutch-speaking population, which benefited subsequently from economic growth and education. During the 1950s and 1960s, this created conflicts between the French-speaking and Dutch-speaking populations. In Brussels, tensions between the two groups were especially high.
Power Sharing Class 10 Civics Notes Chapter 1
Power Sharing Class 10 Civics Notes Chapter 1 is about the journey of democracy that we began last year. In a democracy, no single instrument of government has absolute authority. Thoughtful distribution of authority among the legislative, administration, and judiciary is critical to the formation of democracy. This part kicks off with two narratives from Sri Lanka and Belgium. Both of these narratives focus on how democracies manage power-sharing requests. The tales lead to some broad inferences about the importance of power-sharing in democratic societies. In this chapter, we’ll also learn about the various types of power sharing.
