The Israelites were already responsible and accountable to one supreme authority.
It shouldn't take long to understand how the existing one reacted to the people's
desire to replace that supreme authority with a human one.
But the thing that really clinched it was the way they put it to Samuel. When they came
to him and said they wanted to have a king "... like the other nations", that's what did it.
Throughout the history of the Jews, probably the most constant concept has always been:
You're not like 'the other nations', you've been chosen to bear the responsibility to be
better than that, to set an example, and to make a difference by being different.
"... like the other nations" was definitely not the way to present their case to Samuel.
