What was the legislation passed by the Reichstag that gave Hitler the power to ignore the constitution for four years?
Actually he didn't ignore it he uses it Hitler came to power quite legally using the regular elections the constitution meant even very small political factions, like the Nazis, had a say in government. Using this toe hold in government Hitler set about increasing his votes till he had enough to became Chancellor. After this he used the power to rule by decree because he didn't have a majority in the Reichstag. Hitler wasn't the first to rule by decree so it won't have seemed weird for him to have such powers. After the President of Germany died Hitler succeeded him and became the Fuhrer (leader in German).
How did the Enabling Act help Hitler control Nazi Germany?
The Enabling Law (Ermaechtigungsgestz), passed by a two-thirdsmajority became law on 23 March 1933. It allowed the Chancellor (Hitler) to rule by decree without even the need for the agreement of the President. Thereafter Hitler ruled by decree ... Joncey
What did Hitler do to help him get votes and power in Germany?

In germany the weimar republic was weak from the start?
Many people believe it was, yes. The main reason for this was because of the constitution; it stated that the members of the Reichstag could be elected by proportional representation. This meant that the number of seats each party had was directly proportional to thenumber of votes they recieved. So 50% of votes = 50% of seats, 1% of votes = 1% of seats. This was a big weakness because it gave smaller, extremist parties such as the Nazi's a lot more power. Without this Hilter and the Nazi's may never have taken over Germany. Another Weakness was Article 48. This stated that if there was an emergency the President could suspend democracy for a time and rule by issuing laws or decrees. This was bad because when Hitler became Chancellor, then Hidenburg died and he combined his role with President to become the 'Fuhrer' then it meant he could use Article 48 after the Reichstag fire which gave him a lot of power.

Why the Nazis come to power?
During the German Wiemar Republic election of 1932, Hitler failed to receive the majority of votes for presidency. However, the Nazi party had 230 members on the German council, this was the biggest group at that time. However in 1933, Hitler was appointed to chancellor of Germany by Paul Von Hindenburg. After the infamous Reichstag fire allowed Hitler to convince Germany action needed to be taken to prevent communist subversion. The origins of the fire have never been discovered, with people believing it was a conspiracy by the Nazis. In the aftermath of the fire Hitler managed to convince the Reichstag to grant him emergency powers, this allowed him to create laws without the consent of the Reichstag. This was passed 441 to 84, a huge majority. Hitler used these powers destroy German democracy. When Hindenburg died, Hitler officially became dictator.
