Acerbo Law
In 1923, Mussolini forced Acerbo Law through government. Acerbo Law was an electoral reform, guaranteeing a 2/3s majority for whatever party received the most votes. Because of this new law, Mussolini won a huge majority, and was an important step for his control of Italy.
Unlike Hitler, after the Acerbo Law was passed in Italy, Mussolini was openly criticized. He lacked the element of fear that was present in Nazi Germany.
