⚪︎Political skills to pass strong bills
The Republic Senate was full of corruption and depravity, and even simple bills could not be deliberated smoothly.
The Republic faced a security crisis due to the rise of Separatism. Public opinion calling for the creation of a Republic army gradually grew stronger, and the Congress was divided over the creation of the army, creating a difficult political situation.
At that time, the Jedi revealed the existence of the clone army. They would like to make the clone army a regular military force of the Republic, but the Senate does not allow its use before the Separatist attack.
Even though a clear crisis is approaching, they are unable to deal with it.
Mas Amedda proposes the use of emergency powers that Yoda had proposed to Palpatine.
It is a bold authority that has never been exercised in the history of the founding of the Republic. Naturally, it was expected to be rejected.
Palpatine himself thought it was impossible. He did not want to become a dictator.
"With Congress divided in two, if such a bill passes, it will be a miracle," he says, based on years of experience.
But Representative Jar Jar Binks saw through it. It will definitely pass! He has little political experience, but he is a forward-thinking Gungan. The Jedi are watching over him warmly.
He suddenly formulates a bill and submits a motion. He is laughed at by the elites.
But unexpectedly, it passes smoothly and is quickly and easily passed!
This is unprecedented!
Emergency powers are established, and the clone army becomes the regular army of the Republic.
⚪︎Palpatine praises Jar Jar for his political skills, which allowed him to assess the existence of the clone army, the threat of separatism, and the turbulent political situation in the Senate. "That was a sudden change. I thought it would be impossible. You are a beloved student of Senator Amidala. I'm very happy as a fellow Naboo native. Thank you for the Republic."
He submitted a dangerous and strong bill that could have created many political enemies without fearing the risks, and it gained support.
Emergency powers are essential to ensure the security of the Republic.
⚪︎It was a strong vote
However, even the Jedi could not have anticipated the situation. They failed to end the war early.
A prolonged war leads to centralization and dictatorship, which later became the foundation of the Empire.
If emergency powers had not been passed, the Empire would not have been born.
Even though the Senate had been so worried about creating an army, they quickly united in the face of a security crisis.
It was passed without proper verification, fact-checking, or risk calculation. Democracy can be strong or weak.
Palpatine was relieved that he had been able to deter attacks on the Republic. Crisis situations like this occur many times during wartime. Like Jar Jar, strong bills are passed one after another. It is a constitutional amendment suitable for wartime.
Jar Jar feels guilty about his experience and returns to Naboo. It is believed that he was scolded by Padme.
⚪︎Valorum
The former Supreme Chancellor was also surprised at the quick passage of emergency powers.
Yoda and I agree that emergency powers were inappropriate. "Jar Jar was used."
Yoda apologizes for not ending the war sooner. And promises that Palpatine will not remain a dictator forever. Valorum thought that Palpatine would give up his emergency powers.
"He is a modest and humble man, and he did not become a dictator because he wanted to."
