    In Belgium, what should be indicated in constitutional provision to make an act of the Monarch valid and binding?

    • Approval of the King

    • Signature of the members of government

    • Royal advice of The Elders

    • Confirmation of the Queen

    Correct Answer
    A. Signature of the members of government
    Explanation
    In Belgium, for an act of the Monarch to be valid and binding, it should be indicated in the constitutional provision that it requires the signature of the members of the government. This means that the act must be approved and endorsed by the government officials, ensuring that it aligns with the policies and decisions of the government as a whole. This requirement helps to maintain a system of checks and balances and ensures that the Monarch's actions are in line with the government's agenda.

    • To grant pardon

    • To dismiss a Prime Minister

    • To dissolve a Parliament

    Correct Answer
    A. To issue license plates of vehicles
    Explanation
    In a constitutional monarchy, the power to issue license plates of vehicles is not considered a reserved power. Reserved powers typically refer to the powers that are specifically granted to the monarch or the royal family, such as granting pardon, dismissing a Prime Minister, and dissolving a Parliament. The authority to issue license plates of vehicles is usually delegated to a separate government agency or department responsible for motor vehicles. Therefore, it is not considered a part of the reserved powers under a constitutional monarchy.

However, they can delegate some of these powers to a Governor General, who acts as their representative and carries out certain duties on their behalf. This delegation allows the king or queen to focus on other responsibilities while still ensuring that important tasks are being handled by a trusted individual.
