What promise helped get the constitution ratified?
Federalists promised to add a bill of rights to the constitution if it was ratified.
The division into political parties grew out of differences over?
The first political parties were the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists in the late 1700's. Anit-Federalists were against the ratification of the U.S. Constitution because they thought it gave too much power to the central, or federal, government. They opposed strong central government mainly due to fear of monarchy. They also opposed the Constitution at first because it did not outline the rights of the citizens. Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson held Anti-Federalist views. Federalists wanted a strong central government and they wanted the Constitution. Federalist leaders included Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. The feud between the two parties may have prevented the ratification of the Constitution had it not been for the Bill of Rights. The Constitution was eventually ratified after the promise of an addition of a Bill of Rights to appease the Anti-Feds. The Bill of Rights aroused out of the Massachusetts Compromise, where the state of Massachusetts agreed to ratify the Constitution if it was later amended to contain a Bill of Rights.

Who promised the Bill of Rights on the US Constitution?
James Madison promised the Bill Of Rights on the constitution While James Madison was the primary mover of the Bill of Rights through the First Congress, the leadership of the Federalists (those in favor of the Constitution) had to generally promise to add a Bill of Rights during the ratification debates at the state ratifying conventions. There were many states that would not have ratified without the promise, and George Washington used his position as president to move the matter through Congress as well. Adding the Bill became part of the Federalist mantra when ratification seemed in jeopardy, and various states demanded the addition as a price for ratification.

What are five purposes of the bill of rights?
The word "purposes" is extremely vague. I can let someone answer this at a later time to oversimplify the answer. The best answers to this are as follows. (1) To get the Constitution itself ratified. You may realize that all ten articles of the Bill of Rights are known as Amendments. This is because they were not a part of the original document. The best way to understand their existence is to understand that at the time of ratification there was a divisive split between what are generally referred to as Federalists (those in favor and authors of the Constitution) and the Anti-Federalists. In order to rally enough support to ratify the Constitution, the Federalists (largely seen through James Madison) had to promise these to the Anti-Federalists. (2) To enumerate the rights of citizens of the United States that could not be infringed upon, without acceptable exceptions, by the Federal government (ultimately these limitations were incorporated into limitations upon the States as well by the 14th Amendment) (3) The best answer is because James Madison needed to keep his promise to his constituents.
