It depends on the constitution of the individual country.
It was a monarchy - there was no voting.

This form of government is known as an absolute monarchy. In an absolute monarchy, power is passed down through hereditary succession, and the ruler has unrestricted authority over the country and its citizens. This means that citizens have limited or no civil liberties and their rights are largely disregarded.
A monarch does not give rights to citizens. They don't have to since they control everything.

Why were the French citizens upset with the French monarchy?
Citizens have no rights under a Dictatorship.
Citizens have no rights to participation in an Absolute Monarchy. They have to do whatever the ruler says or pay the consequences. An Absolute Monarchy is in a way like a Dictatorship in the sense of total power.
Citizens were afraid that if the constitution went through without it being added, they might end up being controlled without rights once again like when they were under a monarchy. So they demanded a Bill of Rights, so that their rights may be clearly stated and referred to in case of any troubles between state and peoples.
