Ernst Fraenkel (26 December 1898 – 28 March 1975) was a German-Jewish lawyer and political scientist. Prior to World War II, Fraenkel served as a criminal defense lawyer for Jews who were targeted by the Nazi regime. He subsequently became one of the founding fathers of German political science. In 1939 he immigrated to the United States where he began to develop his respect for the politics of that country, especially its pluralism and its checks and balances. Fraenkel moved to Chicago, where he studied at the University of Chicago Law School, graduating in 1941. In The Dual State, for Fraenkel, there coexisted in the Nazi government a "normative state", which secured the continuation of capitalist society for those Germans not threatened by Nazism, and a "prerogative state", which used legal sanctions as well as brutal violence against people considered to be enemies of Nazism and Nazi Germany.
