[Star Wars] On what charges were the Jedi arresting Palpatine?

It's been a thousand years since the last (publicly known) Sith Lord. If ever there was a law against being a Sith Lord, surely even a government as incompetent as the Republic would have removed such an obsolete law by that point. Other than this, he was, to everyone's knowledge, an effective leader in a time of crisis.

Sedition and being a traitor to the republic.

The Jedi were long aware that the Confederacy were lead by a sith lord. Then they learned that sith was Palpatine. Inciting a war and being in charge of both sides would be pretty criminal.
