He defeated his rival emperor Licinius and reunited the empire, split into four by Diocltian, under his sole rule.
To add to his imperial control he looked to having a religious arm to add to his temporal control. Although a Mithraist himself, he could not use that as it had no system of control and instead enlisted the Christian bishops who did exercise control of their sees throughout the empire, making them a second arm of government.

Yes they were good because they made a change to the roman empire
Constantine gained complete control of the Roman empire in either 314 or 316. Sources differ on the year.
he daclared an end to all attacks on christians an he moved the capital of the empire from rome to the greek city of Byzantium
Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped and renamed it Constantinople, after himself - Constantinople means city of Constantine. However, this did not lead to the beginning of the Byzantine Empire. In fact, the Byzantine Empire did not actually exist. This is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire and which became popular in the 19th century. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to talk of a "Byzantine" period. This started about a century later.
