Enabling Act
(<-- This is some kind of message being sent to the crowd about the enabling act) As soon as Hitler became chancellor, the Nazis made their complete control over Germany legally possible. They changed the laws. A month later, the enabling act started and was callled, "The Law for Terminating the Suffering of People and Nation." The act enabled the government to pass any law, write any decree, and perform any act it wished to. Even if it violated the constitution. -
