The correct answer is D) Ratification of the Constitution.

The first division of political parties came about because of the issue of the Ratification of the Constitution.

General George Washington was right. Political parties represented a risk of division in the US for the many different ideas their members had.

In some states, the Constitution had strong support but also strong opposition. Once the delegates in the Constitutional Convention of Philadephia, Pennsylvania had finalized the draft of the United States Constitution in September 1787, the next step was the ratification by the states to make it official. The process of ratifying the Constitution was complicated and polarized people in the states. Some states immediately unanimously passed the Constitution: New Jersey, Delaware, and Georgia. The process in Pennsylvania was very conflictive, and in the case of New York and Virginia, the process was very complicated.
