Answer
Papen's chancellorship saw Germany ruled by presidential decree, enabling him to bypass the deadlocked parliament and consolidate power in the executive branch. This authoritarian approach served as a precursor to the Nazi dictatorship's more extreme measures, eroding democratic institutions and concentrating decision-making in the hands of the leader.
