The Destruction of Democracy
In 1933, President Hindenburg offered the chancellorship, (the highest position in cabinet of ministers) to Hitler. He set out to dismantle the structures of democratic rule.
The first decree of 1933 suspended civic rights like freedom of speech, press and assembly that was guaranteed by Weimar construction. Later in 1933, the famous enabling act was passed which established dictatorship in Germany.
