Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the 2) The weakness of American colonies when they operate separately.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that when Benjamin Franklin conceived this political cartoon featuring a snake cut into eight fragments, each one of them labeled with the initials of some of the Thirteen Colonies, and the cautionary message "Join, or Die," he was purposely encouraging the colonies to unite against the enemy — the French and Indian War was being fought at that time.

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 3, scene 2.
[BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.
As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was
valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I
slew him.
