1933: GERMANY: The Enabling Act is passed. All control of the Reich budget, approval of treaties, and the initiation of constitutional amendments is handed by the Reichstag to the Reich cabinet for a period of four years. i.e., Chancellor Adolf Hitler is given a legal instrument to move forward. Hitler promises that the Enabling Act will not deter from the powers of the president or affect the position of the Reichstag. None-the-less, the Enabling Act makes Hitler dictator.
