The Enabling Act was a 1933 Weimar Constitution amendment that gave the German Cabinet – in effect, Chancellor Adolf Hitler – the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag<span>.
</span>The Enabling Act gave Hitler plenary powers<span>. It followed on the heels of the </span>Reichstag Fire Decree<span>, which abolished most civil liberties and transferred state powers to the Reich government. The combined effect of the two laws was to transform Hitler's government into a legal dictatorship. </span> Hope this helped! :)
