In order to turn the suddenly-emerging clone army into a legitimate Republic army, the Senate unanimously granted emergency powers to Palpatine. Behind the scenes, the Commerce Guild and the Intergalactic Banking Group made an armed economic pact with the Trade Federation. It was supposed to be a secret pact, but it was made public in Congress by the Jedi. It originated with the hawks, who wanted to counteract it with a quick solution, using a rumored clone army legally commissioned by the Jedi. The means to do so was an emergency power that could be acted upon immediately, eliminating the usual procedures.
However, it was feared that no member of Congress would have the courage to propose such an amendment, but Rep. Binks of Naboo did. Inspired by the words of Mas Amida, "If only Senator Amidala were here at this time," the amendment was introduced by Rep. If Senator Amidala had been in Congress, he would have pointed out the legality of a quick resolution and asked for a peace deal. Palpatine knew that too, with Mas Amida in front of him. So he used his emergency powers to win the war with an overwhelmingly armed clone army and promised to return the power to the Senate immediately. This reassured the Senate that the battle would be over in a few months, and that the tipping of power to the Chancellor would be temporary.
But the war did not end easily; the CIS swelled across the galaxy after the Battle of Geonosis without surrender. Pledged to win the war with a clone army and surrender its authority, the Republic, with its policy of doing everything possible to end the war quickly, became bogged down in a protracted war.
The result is a police military state with a radically revised constitution within three years. Palpatine is legally given strong powers by the Senate due to centralization. Of course, the holonet was disgusted and lamented.
"Jedi, I hope you are acutely aware of your responsibility to lead the clone army. I will do all I can to help you, and I hope that you will win the war to restore democracy." Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
