How does Article 68 of the UAE Constitution distribute the 40 seats of the Federal National Council among the emirates?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Abu Dhabi 8, Dubai 8, Sharjah 6, Ras Al Khaimah 6, Ajman 4, Umm Al Quwain 4, Fujairah 4
- Step 1: Article 68 says the Federal National Council consists of forty members. Answer: Abu Dhabi 8, Dubai 8, Sharjah 6, Ras Al Khaimah 6, Ajman 4, Umm Al Quwain 4, Fujairah 4. The seats are distributed as Abu Dhabi 8, Dubai 8, Sharjah 6, Ras Al Khaimah 6, Ajman 4, Umm Al Quwain 4 and Fujairah 4. Why not the others: The other three distributions do not match the seat numbers listed in Article 68.
