After manipulating his way to Supreme Chancellor, Sheev Palaptine was far from establishing Sith rule over the galaxy. Hundreds of amendments and decrees were required, but six key measures were crucial to declaring himself Emperor. The initial step was the Emergency Powers Act, which nullified his term limits during the Separatist crisis. He then orchestrated the Military Creation Act, which reestablished the Republic's military. The Enhanced Security Enforcement Act was introduced, establishing a surveillance-oriented police state that could legally monitor Republic citizens. The Reflex Amendment followed, placing Governor-Generals under Palpatine’s authority to direct sector defense forces and industrial manufacturing. Two crucial Security Amendments, the Supreme Command Amendment and the Judicial Command Amendment, formally placed the Chancellor as Supreme Commander of the Republic’s armed forces and the Jedi Order. As the war drew to a close, the Sector Governance Decree assigned regional and planetary governors to oversee each sector and system, effectively making the Senate obsolete.

So basically he created a war and then proposed ways to fight that war.
Gotta admit he’s a clever patient man
He literally just said I am the Senate and that was that
At first, I wondered why the Senate would vote to make itself obsolete, then I remembered how much authority my own countries' senate has outsourced to bureaucracy, and it all made sense.
He created the war, proposed the war, and secretly took over as emperor while the others had no idea. Palpatine really was the Senate. Nice to know what else he legalized while in office as Chancellor. Awesome video btw.
So he basically the Patriot Act and citizens united.
Uh,the limits on his term were suspended prior to Attack Of The Clones. At the time of that film, Palpatine had been in office for 2 years after his term as Supreme Chancellor was supposed to end. Why? With the Separatist Crisis in full swing, the Senate though it'd be a bad idea to essentially change horses in the middle of a race. So it was decided that Palpatine would be allowed to remain in office until the crisis was resolved.
This alone explains why he was the most op sith ever
Darth Jar Jar put this all into place.
Low key sounds like america post 9/11
On the Death Star, GA Tarkin told Vader that the Emperor had swept away the Senate. I wonder, did Sidious use Sith lightening to do the sweeping, Stormtroopers, or simply dismiss the Senators?
By the time you got to Revenge Of The Sith, the Republic was an Empire in all but name. The Senate at that point was essentially a braindead corpse on life support who only existed for the sole purpose of Palpatine taking more of its power for himself.
Another decree that was passed was the one that essentially said that the only person who could end the current state of emergency/strip Palpatine of his power was only Palpatine himself.
Fear is a powerful tool, but Palps was adored by a majority of the citizenry.
So about halfway through you have a pic of Yoda creeping up behind some Thot😅. What’s going on there 😂?
Adolf H- did the same … with the Nuremberg Laws
He used proudness
He had a Super Majority in the Senate which basically meant he could pass legislation/rewrite the Republic constitution at will and no one could really stop him.
This is why he is the Senate
Just watch Star wars l how liberety dies
