Key Vocabulary and Concepts
The Enabling Act, officially called the "Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the State," was passed on 23 March 1933. It gave Hitler and his government the power to enact laws without the Reichstag's approval. This law was crucial in establishing a dictatorship because it allowed Hitler to suppress opposition and control the German government.
