New Forest Act 1949
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
8 Courts of swainmote sitting in judicial capacity.
(1) A court of swainmote for the despatch of judicial business shall consist of the official verderer together with such four of the other verderers as may be nominated by the Lord Chancellor, of whom not less than three shall be elective verderers. (2) Section twenty-four of the Act of 1877 (which contains provisions as to courts of swainmote) shall have effect subject to the provisions of this section, but nothing in this section shall prejudice the provisions of paragraph (d) of the said section twenty-four as to the quorum of a court.

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.
