I always figured  Amaund wanted the Emperor killed in hopes of gaining power, either so the Elder Counsel can take over the Empire or Amaund himself. Regardless Amaund clearly believes Titus' Death is in the best interset of the Empire overall (not saying he's correct in that belief). So it's unlikely he is prodicting the Thalmor to claim marshall law.

Amaund trying to lead the Empire into a Republic following the Emperor's death is an interseting theory, but he doesn't mention it at all so that Headcanon.

And it shall become my new Headcanon, as such in all future play throughs Amaund shall be spared in hopes of bring Democracy to Tamriel
