Propose a change

Great Seal (Offices) Act 1874

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

What to do with it
As published

6 Power to abolish office of clerk of the patents, and transfer the duties.

. . . , all the duties and powers of the clerk of the patents shall be performed by and vested in the clerk of the Crown in Chancery or his officers in such manner as the Lord Chancellor may from time to time direct. Nothing in this section shall apply to the clerk of the Commissioners of Patents, so far as relates to letters patent under the Patent Law Amendment Act 1852 and the Acts amending the same.

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.

Think it through

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.
