23 mars 1933 - Enabling Act

Description:

The German parliament passes the Law for Rectification of the Distress of Nation and Reich (Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich), commonly known as the Enabling Act (Ermächtigungsgesetz). This law allows Hitler, as Chancellor, to initiate and sign legislation into law without obtaining parliamentary consent. The act effectively establishes a dictatorship in Germany.
