The Reflex Amendment represented a change to the Republic Constitution of the Galactic Republic. It was ratified during the Clone Wars and served to expand the authority of the Supreme Chancellor, specifically Sheev Palpatine. This legislative action granted Palpatine almost complete control over the Republic Military, effectively allowing him to make decisions without the approval of the Galactic Senate on these issues. This Amendment, when considered alongside the Emergency Powers Act that had previously given Palpatine emergency powers before the war, established him as the most influential Supreme Chancellor since the era of the Ruusan Reformations.
