What is the control mechanism of the clones? After all, they are humans, so how is their loyalty decided? I somehow doubt Palpatine is Force-controlling them across the galaxy.

This goes back to Episode 2 when the clones were introduced. What happened was before Episode 1 Senator Palpatine went on behalf of Jedi Master Syfo Dias and requested that a clone army be created. The problem? Syfo Dias had been killed. Palpatine had that army created to follow his every command. In Episode 1, he worked with the Trade Federation to help them occupy Naboo. He then helped Padme in overthrowing the Chancellor, therefore making him the chancellor. With the emergency power that the Senate granted him, he "approved" the creation of the clone army that he had started building several years before.
Episodes 1, 2, and 3 are basically about Palpatine's rise to power and how he manipulated everyone around him by leading a double life as both the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and the Dark Lord of the Sith. He used that power to create the clone army that would work closely with the Jedi. Then when the time was right the clones would kill the Jedi across the galaxy. It's a truly remarkable plan.
