You have several things that can go lost and then a society seizes to be a modern democracy:

1. The removal of the judicial branch. (laws/courts)
2. The removal of the legislative branch. (parliament of some form)
3. The removal of the right to vote.

The Reichstag Fire Decree and Enabling Act of 1933 did pretty much this, and effectively established a totalitarian dictatorship less than two months after Hitler was appointed chancellor.
