Boris Johnson's Law to Remedy the Distress of England "Enabling Act" "Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich" 

Enabling Act of 1933

The Enabling Act (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz) of 1933, officially titled Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich ("Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich"),^[1] was a law that gave the German Cabinet—most importantly, the Chancellor—the powers to make and enforce laws without the involvement of the Reichstag and with no need to consult with Weimar President Paul von Hindenburg.
