It appears that the people of Ammonihah recognize power only in the political--they reject Alma's authority over them on the premise that he is no longer the chief judge. This obsession with the political is reemphasized in the following chapters (see Alma 10:13, Alma 10:24). It's also possible to understand some of Amulek's later discourse as addressing this situation (Alma 10:19-20).
