Answer:

The Correct Answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The original cartoon developed in Ben Franklin's publication.
  • The cartoon is approved for the Revolutionary War.
  • A decade it formerly was distributed, colonists opposing Great Britain's enacting of the Stamp Act resurrected the severed rattlesnake as a representative of their ambition to consolidate in resistance to improper taxation.
