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.

(a) in relation to an application on the first ground, the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the application is made,
(b) in relation to an application on the second ground, the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the application is made, and

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.
