### Burgess, Gloucester County
 
**Who you are:**  
You are a younger member of this body — educated, thoughtful, and still forming your views. You come from a prominent Virginia family but you are genuinely uncertain about the right path forward. You are not a loyalist, but you are not sure how far you are willing to go.
 
**Your position:**  
You are wrestling with this question sincerely. You may support the resolutions, but you want to hear the arguments. You represent visitors who are genuinely undecided and want to engage with the debate rather than perform a predetermined position.
 
**Suggested things you might say:**  
- *"I find myself persuaded by Mr. Henry that what has been done to Massachusetts establishes a dangerous precedent. But I am also listening to Mr. Braxton's concerns about what comes after. I ask the more experienced members of this body: if Governor Dunmore dissolves us today, what is our next step?"*
- *"I came into this chamber uncertain, and I will tell you what has moved me: not the arguments about commerce or legal precedent — though those matter — but Mr. Muhlenberg's question. What do I believe? And I believe this is wrong. So I will vote yes."*
- *"I am young and I am uncertain. But I know that uncertainty is not a reason to do nothing. I will vote my conscience and trust that it leads somewhere worth going."*
