When Hitler was appointed in January 1933, Germany was a democracy. Germany had fair elections; nobody had their right to vote abused; and there were numerous political parties you could vote for. To pass a law the Reichstag had to agree to it after a bill went through the normal processes of discussion, arguments, etc.Hitler had promised a general election for March 1933. One week before the election was due to take place, the Reichstag building burned down. Hitler immediately declared that it was the signal for a communist takeover of the nation. Hitler asked President Hindenburg to grant him emergency powers in view of the 'communist takeover'. Using the constitution, Hindenburg agreed to pass the Law for the Protection of the People and the State. The election took place in March. Hitler did not get the number of votes he wanted but he did get enough to get over a 50% majority in the Reichstag. After the burning down of the Reichstag, politicians had nowhere to meet. The Kroll Opera House in Berlin was chosen. On March 23rd, 1933, elected officials were due to meet to discuss and vote on Hitler's Enabling Law. As elected officials neared the building they found it surrounded by SS and SA thugs who ensured that only Nazi or Nationalist politicians got in. The vote for this law was crucial as it gave Hitler a vast amount of power. The law basically stated that any bill only needed Hitler's signature and within 24 hours that bill would become law in Germany. With only Nazis and other right wing politicians inside the Kroll Opera House, the bill was quickly passed into law. The act gave Hitler what he wanted - dictatorial power. What he wanted would become law in Germany within 24 hours of his signature being put on paper. Now you tell me - does this sound like a valid law was passed, given that only one party was allowed into the building to vote? |
