Résumé
According to the Belgian Constitution, federal executive power belongs to the King. A deeper analysis reveals that the top of the executive apparatus is much more expansive than this. Executive power is divided between public authorities of which the council of ministers, which assumes responsibility for political and administrative action, is a key institution. Moreover, numerous consultative authorities and a variety of services are associated with the work of the government which enables a reduction in the gap between citizens and the exercise of power.
