Marriage 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
71 Evidence of marriages under Part V.
Where a marriage has been solemnized under this Part of this Act, it shall not be necessary, in support of the marriage, to give any proof— (a) that the chapel in which the marriage was solemnized was certified or licensed or registered in accordance with this Part of this Act; or (b) that either of the parties was a qualified person within the meaning of this Part of this Act; or (c) in the case of a marriage according to the rites of the Church of England, that the marriage was solemnized in the presence of a clergyman duly appointed under this Part of this Act for the purpose of registering marriages; and no evidence shall be given to prove the contrary in any proceedings touching the validity of any such marriage.

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.
