Rights are not put up to votes but laws are. When a law that violates a right is put up to a vote, that right itself is up for a vote.
I'm sure you have no trouble understanding this.

Unfortunately there is considerable disagreement on what our rights are. Jesse Jackson thinks there is a right to health care, housing, food etc. We have no voted to agree with him as of yet.
How many rights do you think there are? Hamilton and Madison were opposed to the BoR because they feared it would be used to limit the rights of Americans rather than protect them.
