Probably a mix of both. The Quincy were pushed to the brink of extinction by Soul Society, which according to Bach, and implied by others in the story, used to be ruthless in their judgment.
It's probably fairly close to the truth that the initial forming of the divisions was the result of the strong banding together in a warped sense of justice. Just look at how poor the various districts are, and how characters like Zaraki and Yachiru lived. Outside the walls of SS, existence is brutal. If you can't fend for yourself, it's even worse.
So the divisions are tasked, or choose to task themselves, with preserving order, and the Quincy were literally unbalancing it. I doubt diplomacy was used much - just look at how they treated Ichigo before he saved their asses a bunch of times. He might have been the agent of change that helped SS become better, but they still have a lot of demons in their history that have come back to bite them.
