It was only rarely an issue. Only the country's rich and powerful had any direct dealings with the king at all. In the minds of common people before the 19th century, the elevated position of the King was simply a given and not a subject of any discussion amongst them. To those the monarch was a distant figure, and common people only had to deal with the power of local lords and magistrates.

Revolts against a king were very rare and if they happened at all, they were mostly instigated by nobles, not by the common citizens. The revolt of the Dutch against the King of Spain is one of the very rare cases before the end of the 19th century where 'common people' revolted against the power of a king.

The people that the monarchy ruled over accepted the argument that the Kings were placed there by God. If a person is chosen by God there is little to discuss and those who didn't accept it were not treated well. People could be arrested, tortured, and killed. Many lost their heads not agreeing with the king.

Why did monarchs force their people to believe in a religion?

Picture having a cat, a dog, a parrot, and a gerbil. It'd be pretty hard to manage all four, eh? Now imagine having four cats. Much easier! It's the same with monarchs and religion--it's easier to please several people of the same religion than it is to please several people of different religions. Probably the bigger reason, though, is because the monarchs thought that their religion was the only "correct" one.
