The Enabling Act
The Enabling Act is a right that Hitler has come to possess after the Reichstag Fire, blaming it on the communists and therefore persuading President Hindenburg that it was necessary to act upon the state of emergency, Article 48. Hitler used this chance to really strengthen his position in the Government, which right now, he has every right to make laws for 4 years without consulting and discussing with the Reichstag. This Act was passed on 23 March, 1933, 24 days after the Reichstag Fire. The enabling of the Enabling Act "passed' through the voting of the Reichstag 444:91, due to the communist members of the Reichstag being banned to attend this session. This voting process was held at the Kroll Opera House, where Hitler had JUST in case, set up SA and SS troops all around and inside the Opera House, where it was the temporary site for all Reichstag meetings.
Many oppositions that might have considered going against the Act were all intimidated by the Nazi's hostile appearance. This Act that was passed through was considered the main reason why Hitler did not face any major rebels or bumps along his way to dictatorship over Germany. The Act ended the few years of democracy Germany had enjoyed after Kaiser Wilhem II's rule, which also means the end to the Weimar Republic. Germany was now a totalitarian state, meaning it's run by one-party only, and other parties no long have any say in the decisions that party makes for the country anymore.
