[Star Wars: TPM] If Queen Admidala had signed the Trade Federation's treaty would the republic have recognized it as valid.

So part of the Trade Federation's plan in the phantom menace is to capture Admidala and force her to sign a treaty making their invasion of the planet legal in the eyes of the senate. But to me it seems like it would be obvious that she was coerced into signing it. Would the senate have actually accepted the treaty or would they have been like "You obviously forced her to sign this.  What you're doing is still illegal."

Yes, the coercive nature of the of the treaty would be obvious: that’s the point. The whole point of the invasion was to garner sympathy for Palpatine to pave his way to the Chancellorship. Had things gone as planned he would have taken the same actions in the senate, just with a less effective catspaw to isolate him from the appearance of ambition.
