Enabling Act (US)
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Enabling Act (U.S.))
An Enabling Act, in reference to admission of new states into the Union, is legislation passed by Congress authorizing the people of a territory to frame a constitution. The act also lays down the requirements that must be met as a prerequisite to statehood. This has nothing to do with the more infamous Enabling Act of Nazi Germany.
