enabling actLegislative enactment enabling or empowering a person or corporation to take certain actions. Perhaps the best known example of an enabling law was that passed in Germany in March 1933 by the Reichstag and Reichsrat. It granted Hitler's cabinet dictatorial powers until April 1937, and effectively terminated parliamentary government in Germany until 1950. The law firmly established the Nazi dictatorship by giving dictatorial powers to the government. |
