Belize Act 1981
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
2 Power to provide new constitution for Belize.
(1) Her Majesty may by Order in Council made before Independence Day provide a constitution for Belize to come into effect on that day. (2) An Order in Council under this section (in this section referred to as a “Constitution Order”) may include provision as to the manner in which the legislature of Belize may alter any provisions of that Order, or may alter any law which alters any of those provisions; and a constitution provided by a Constitution Order may include provision as to the manner in which the legislature of Belize may alter that constitution or any provisions of that constitution or may alter any law which alters that constitution or any provisions thereof. (3) In this section references to altering a constitution or to altering any provision or law include references— (a) to revoking it, with or without re-enactment thereof or the making of different provision in lieu thereof; (b) to modifying it, whether by omitting or amending any of its provisions or inserting additional provisions in it or otherwise; and (c) to suspending its operation for any period, or terminating any such suspension. (4) A Constitution Order may contain such transitional or other incidental or supplementary provisions as appear to Her Majesty to be necessary or expedient. (5) Any Constitution Order shall be laid before Parliament after being made.

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.
