    The Nazis also did not have a majority in the parliament. It parallels with America where Trump only got 30% of support from the entire eligible voters, many of whom sat out the elections.

    I don’t know, I am not an expert on the American constitution or law, but from the looks of it, the checks and balance is still holding up well; with many courts opposing the Republican and Trump decisions. However, the checks and balance is effective until it is not. The United States modeled itself from the Roman Republic, but the system of checks and balance actually did a pretty good job keeping many aspiring tyrants and dictators away until it did not (I am going on tangent to say that this is one of the many reasons why the West being awed at and modeling itself from the Roman empire is so overrated and a mistake).
