Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze the historical context of political party formation in the US. The first division of political parties (Federalists and Anti - Federalists) occurred over the ratification of the Constitution. Federalists supported a strong central government and the Constitution, while Anti - Federalists opposed it, leading to the first party split. Voter registration, congressional spending, and immigration were not the issues behind the first party division.

Answer:

B. Ratification of the Constitution
