[STAR WARS] Why was everyone in the senate so onboard with Palpatine creating the Galactic Empire?

Increased security measures. Like a standing military that was centralized instead of relying on local militias.  Trade practices standardized and preferential treatment of the core worlds. Relaxed restrictions on exploiting worlds in the mid and outer rim.  Streamlining the process of government.  It took years of planning but palpatine made the Senate feel like they were suffering under republic rule and that he was the one to get things done instead of months of debating and dealing to find solutions.  The republic had just seen a simple trade dispute turn into a massive rebellion that was put down thanks only to palpatine bringing the grand army out of hiding and waging a war against the separatists that publicly was credited to palpatine not the jedi.  And it took nearly 19 years before the senate was losing power.  All they saw at the time was removing the need to have an elected leader of the Senate and having an authority that could come in and decide any issues without need for a Senate debate if it was needing a speedy response.
