Ans/ Hitler took the following actions in order to destroy democracy: 1. In February 1933, a strange fire broke out in the German Parliament building, suspending civic rights forever. The fire is alleged to have been started by Hitler's followers, while Hitler accused his political opponents of it. The Fire Decree of 28 February 1933 indefinitely restricted civic rights given by the Weimar Constitution, such as freedom of expression, speech, press, and assembly. 2. After Adolf Hitler turned on his adversary, the German Communists, the majority of the communists were soon carted off to the newly built extermination camps. 3. The Communists were subjected to harsh persecution. Their membership was in the thousands. They were, however, only one of 52 types of victims persecuted by the Nazis throughout the country. 4. The historic Enabling Act was approved on March 3, 1933. The dictatorship was formed in Germany as a result of this Act. It granted Adolf Hitler complete political and administrative authority, allowing him to bypass the German Parliament and govern by edict.
