The short answer is that the leaders knew what was best for you. Therefore, you shouldn't question them because questioning them was like questioning God.

Parallels are drawn between Abasalom and David (Abasalom stirred up dissension.) The verse "make your leaders job a joy" is used quite a bit as well as all manner of verses with a theme of trust.

The idea was that a leader was trustworthy because they had your best interest at heart. This was also the excuse used when things didn't work out.
