The takeover was slow. You had a friendly and well-liked senator from a popular core-world win the election for Supreme Chancellor. He is very competent in that role.

A civil war has begun. The Republic really has no standing military or even a cohesive military infrastructure. The government is granted emergency powers in this time of great unrest and uncertainty.

The beloved Chancellor was attacked by the traitorous Jedi. Luckily he has supreme control over the entire military. Also it seems like the only way we can get through this war is by forming a empire with a strong leader at the head. But don't worry, his power will still be checked by the Senate.

Over the next 19 years things get ever more slowly controlled. The military more abusive. Rights less prominent. Finally the Senate has been dissolved. Don't like it, take up your complaint with the newly revealed Death Star. And just to prove they're serious, they blew up one of the most significant Core worlds.

By this point all notable leadership and bureaucracy has been taken over by Imperial loyalist. There is no avenue to work within the system and change things. Dissent is squashed immediately.
