Keeping the army ready is a most thing. Also spies played an important part and the people surrounding the nation and the guards.
Sargon of Akkad, who ruled in the 24th to 23rd centuries BCE, is believed to have had a significant number of slaves, although exact figures are not documented. His empire, one of the first in history, relied on a large workforce, including enslaved individuals, to support agricultural production and construction projects. The exact number of slaves under his control is not known, but it likely numbered in the thousands given the scale of his empire.
He was an absolute ruler and therefore had better control over the state and the provinces of the empire.
The main weakness was their size. With such a large territory it was hard to control and protect everyone
Lack of communication throughout the empire/society/etc. would definetely be one of the major difficulties to taking control of a large empire/society/etc. Another would be travel. "How would they get around?" would be a good question for that. Simple difficulties such as these can lead to the fall or decline of an empire,nation,etc.
The large Inca Empire was connected by 10,000 miles of paved roads.

they kept control by setting laws or rule of law that everyone had to follow

Sargon tried to organize an empire between him and the Akkadian. Whcih was shortly lived and eventually rebellions broke loose bringing the empire back into cites-states. However, this act inspired the first Babylonian Empire which consisted of the Sumer and Akkadia. Their advances in military were being well-organized and having a/the first large population to form a military and government organizations. Hope this helped
Sargon II united the city-states of Sumer"After conquering all the Sumerian city-states, Sargon I united them with Akkad, and created the world's first empire. His empire included all of Mesopotamia.

Sargon the Great's exact cause of death is uncertain, but it is believed he died of natural causes around 2215 BC. Some sources suggest he may have been assassinated, but there is no concrete evidence to support this theory.
