A lot of people think it took years but it didn't, it took just MONTHS for Hitler to break the constitution and for Germany to become a one party state.
In March 1933, the Enabling Act, an amendment to the Weimar Constitution, passed in the Reichstag by a vote of 444 to 94.[18] This amendment allowed Hitler and his cabinet to pass lawseven laws that violated the constitutionwithout the consent of the president or the Reichstag.[19] As the bill required a two-thirds majority to pass, the Nazis used intimidation tactics as well as the provisions of the Reichstag Fire Decree to keep several Social Democratic deputies from attending, and the Communists had already been banned.[20][21] On 10 May, the government seized the assets of the Social Democrats, and they were banned on 22 June.[22] On 21 June, the SA raided the offices of the German National People's Party their former coalition partners and they disbanded on 29 June. The remaining major political parties followed suit. On 14 July 1933 Germany became a one-party state with the passage of a law decreeing the NSDAP to be the sole legal party in Germany.
