###Looks like Duchess Satine Kryze led a puppet government.

New canon erased lots of prior Mandalorian history, but there are two certain facts:

1. Mandalorians were a proud warrior culture that waged war against the Jedi (and presumably the Republic)
2. They lost that war.

Since that victor dictates terms, Mandalorians were probably forced to disarm and shun lots of their traditional beliefs and customs. We know that when Obi-Wan was a Padawan, he and the then teenage Duchess spent a year together during the civil war. Ultimately, the pacifist New Mandalorians won with the help of the Republic. Satine's rule lasted as long the Republic could support her - when the Clone War started her regime was overthrown and she lost her life.

It is quite unlikely that warriors like Mandalorians would willingly elect an inexperienced teenage girl to lead them. A far more likely explanation is that they simply bowed to stronger power, and let Satine rule but in the shadows quietly despised pacifism, waiting for the right moment to return to their old ways.
