Sub units: A two-thirds majority is needed | Centre Party | Communist Party

  • The Centre Party was a moderate party representing Germany's Catholics.
  • Hitler promised the Centre Party (and the undecided right wing groups) always to consult the President before using the powers he would receive under the Enabling Act.
  • He promised to respect the rights of the Catholic Church.
  • He promised to protect the Catholic Church from the Communists, who advocated atheism.
  • This was enough to persuade the Centre Party representatives to vote in favour of the Act.
