a. attempt to come to power through constitutional means.

  • After the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, a violent attempt to overthrow the Weimar Republic, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party (NSDAP) re-evaluated their approach to gaining power in Germany. Following his trial for the failed coup, Hitler was sentenced to prison, where he wrote "Mein Kampf" and reflected on his strategy.
  • After his release, he concluded that the best way to achieve power would be through legal, electoral means rather than by force. From that point on, Hitler pursued a policy of participating in elections and building a political base to achieve power legally. This led to the gradual rise of the NSDAP through the late 1920s and early 1930s, culminating in Hitler being appointed Chancellor of Germany in 1933.
