Crofters Holdings (Scotland) Act 1886
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
11 Application by crofters for enlargement.
It shall be lawful for any . . . crofters resident on neighbouring holdings in a . . . parish, where any landlord or landlords after application made to him or them have refused to let such crofters available land on reasonable terms for enlarging the holdings of such crofters, to apply . . . setting forth that in the said parish or in an adjacent . . . parish there is land available for the enlargement of such holdings which they are willing to take on lease, but which the landlord or landlords refuse to let on reasonable terms; that is to say, on such terms as are usually obtained in the letting of land of the like quality, and similarly situated in the same district, for other purposes than that of a deer forest, or of a grouse moor or other sporting purpose.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
