Early in 1933, Hitler advanced his blood purity program when the German parliament handed him an enabling act that turned his decrees into law.

In 1889, President Grover Cleveland signed an enabling act paving the way for the Dakotas, Montana and Washington to become states.

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed an enabling act paving the way for Virginia’s western counties to become the state of West Virginia, which took place in June 1863.

While the opposition and the free media covered the enabling act widely, the average Hungarian has seemed less concerned.
