At the time of the writing of the US Constitution, political parties as we know them today were not involved. There were two opposing groups during that time, the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists wanted more government control over the states, and the Anti-Federalists were something like today's Libertarians (wanting more independence for the states).
These two groups had to compromise to get our constitution ratified. The Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the constitution, was included because it guaranteed that the federal government could not have too much control over individuals: This was done to satisfy the Anti-Federalists.
