However, since 1970, through successive state reforms, Belgium has gradually evolved into a federal state.
The last radical change of the constitution was carried out in 1993 after which it was published in a renewed version in the Belgian Official Journal. One of the most important changes was the introduction of the Court of Arbitration whose competencies were expanded by a special law of 2003, to include Title II (Articles 8 to 32), and the Articles 170, 172 and 191 of the Constitution.

This court has the authority to examine whether a law or a decree is in compliance with Title II and Articles 170, 172 and 191.
