How did he hoard all political power when the power rely in the Hokage, his advisors, and the council made up of the village elders? What amendments did he make? He was the one to have Hashirama use Democracy and the elders are people who can make the right decisions for the village. Have they shown him, the council and the villagers that they are capable of making great and proper decisions? They were the ones refusing peace fro many years that Hashirama tried to get it and some of them only surrendered after Tobirama killed Izuna which tipped the scales more in the Senju favor. They didn't stop because they wanted peace, they did it after they lacked the power to continue; Madara got EMS after it showed some Uchiha going to the Senju.
What sham? Tobirama can't just make decisions, he stopped Hashirama from doing the very thing and had the council and people in the village have a say in what they wanted. So are you saying the council which is made from people of different clans all backed Tobirama's decisions with no reasons? Hashirama didn't hand Tobirama Hokage, he was voted in just like Hashirama was so the villagers and council all choose to make him the 2nd Hokage as they do for all Hokages. Danzo even said the people don't trust him as they do Naruto so he couldn't try anything to Naruto when his body guard suggested it. He was just made Hokage fill in until the votes took place.
Since when did Hiruzen become Danzo? I've seen Danzo ordering Itachi to kill the Uchihas in Itachi's flashback not Hiruzen. Itachi said it was Hiruzen who tried to solve the issue peacefully, Hiruzen only felt guilty for allowing Danzo to make dark decisions as a whole and that made the Uchiha massacre happen. So unless you're saying Itachi who would know who ordered him is lying when he have no reason to lie now that Sasuke knows everything and Hiruzen is dead. Obito even said it was Danzo and the other two elders while Hiruzen tried to solve it peacefully.
They signed a peace treaty to stop fighting, both clans were constantly fighting and when the Senjus wanted to stop the Uchihas would keep fighting them due to Madara and Izuna wanting to. As kids it was Hashirama who came up with the ideas as Madara told him only he thought like that

and Tobirama said the villagers and Uchihas themselves all view Hashirama as the village creator unless you think the Uchihas and other others who were actually there when the village was created are lying

. Madara only came up with the village name, it was Hashirama who was telling Madara about everything that was going on with the village

. They got other clans joining them before Hashirama was voted as Hokage

. So the Senju and Uchihas view Hashirama as the village creator.
Tobirama stated that many Uchihas would lose control and run wild, they would lose something/someone they love and that love would turn into a stronger hate. We see this is Madara, Izuna, Obito, and Sasuke; Tobirama said many Uchihas did this and called some of them emotional

If a clan of people have a tendency of losing control and run wild with hatred I would not want them having power in the government. I rather leaders to have calm and collect minds who can make effective decisions; it has nothing to do with hating the Uchihas, Tobirama plan out told Sasuke he didn't hat them but put the village safety before anything. There are not even Senjus shown except Tsunade so if you think it was Tobirama who kicked out Uchihas from the Village politics then why were there any Uchihas in the council when Hiruzen took over? He had no hate towards the Uchiha and have no reason to keep them out so either they didn't want to be in the council or they weren't seen capable of having that power. Example, we seen Itachi father tell Itachi that before being a Anbu, he was an Uchiha. Clearly they put their clan above the Village while the will of fire is when you put the village over all above yourself or clan; the village is your family.
