On reflection I would agree with Veronica that it shouldn't be "him", but see my note under her answer.

It wasn´t "him" who was enabled to give: it is talking about a parliamentary process so I think it would be better to stick to the unpersonalized syntactics of the original, which reads "La considerable mayoría parlamentaria de las fuerzas políticas parlamentarias del gobierno PERMITIO DARLE a estos actos validez constitucional."
If it had been "LE PERMITIÓ DAR" then it would be correct to translate it as "enabled HIM".
If it had been "LE PERMITIÓ DAR" then it would be correct to translate it as "enabled HIM".

: I agree it's not specifically 'him', but there is still a sense that someone is actively seeking to justify their measures, which isn't conveyed in your answer ('to have' is a passive verb). Perhaps "allowed these measures to be given..." would be better

Yes, I also accept "allowed these measures to be given...", but in any case the "giver" is the parliament. That there are always mysterious forces behind parliaments, that´s something else :-)
