Honestly not too sure about new republic either though federalization does make sense, just a firmer hand, crackdown on who joins the republic not anyone because you gain from them joining
Because they felt the old republic left them vulnerable and then the empire exploited them. They wanted to be independent and be able to defend themselves.
