You're not putting things in proper perspective at all : /

The two most powerful clans in the ninja world eventually made peace and created a village together, yet the Senju ended up holding the top-tier positions in the government. Despite being a position of authority, the police force's power was relatively limited and kept the Uchiha clan from participating in the top-level governing the affairs of the village, which they felt entitled to considering they were a founding clan of Konoha. This was one of the major causes for the gradual resentment brewing between them; they did not plot to overthrow the village because they resided on undesirable real estate.

Personally, I don't completely condemn Tobirama for his choices, yet I don't believe they were the best possible. On the other hand, the author seems to be sending obvious hints to us that Tobirama was wrong, especially considering his resentful, prejiduced attitude towards the Uchiha, and Hashirama's passionate disaproval.
