Between 1933 and 1945 Germany had its own fascist dictator in Adolf Hitler. Fascism spread because of the hurting economy in Europe. After the fall of the Kaiser in Germany the people of Germany were left with a country in shambles.

Italian fascism differed from its German counterpart in important ways. Most notably, perhaps, anti-Semitism and racism were more innate in the German version. But Italian and German fascism also shared important similarities. Like Italy, Germany was a “new” nation (formed in 1871) plagued by deep divisions.

Enabling Act

After the Reichstag Fire of 1933, Hitler relied on the precedent of Article 48 to pass the Enabling Act which gave him truly unlimited dictatorial powers.

Article 48 – This gave the president the power to act without parliament’s approval in an emergency. However, it did not clearly define what an ’emergency’ was, so the power was overused, which weakened Germans’ confidence in democracy.

As an example, the enabling statute that created the Food and Drug Administration is the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

The Nazis devised the Enabling Act to gain complete political power without the need of the support of a majority in the Reichstag and without the need to bargain with their coalition partners.

On the 23 March 1933, Hitler proposed the Enabling Law to the Reichstag. This new law gave Hitler the power to rule by decree rather than passing laws through the Reichstag and the president. If passed, the law would establish the conditions needed for dictatorial rule.

A compromise achieved in early June 1906 provided for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as one state, if their populations so agreed in separate elections, and admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one, upon writing and ratifying a constitution. …

The Senate passed the Oklahoma Statehood Enabling Act, which passed both houses on June 16. It allowed the people of the Oklahoma and Indian territories to draft a state constitution and petition Congress for admission to the Union as one state. Oklahoma was admitted to the Union as the 46th state.

The Organic Act of 1890 established a territorial government for Oklahoma Territory and defined the boundaries of Oklahoma Territory (O.T.) and Indian Territory (I.T.) comprising present Oklahoma. The law also called for the election of a non-voting delegate from O.T. to the U.S. House of Representatives.
