Terrorism Act 2006
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
9 Making and possession of devices or materials
(1) A person commits an offence if— (a) he makes or has in his possession a radioactive device, or (b) he has in his possession radioactive material, with the intention of using the device or material in the course of or in connection with the commission or preparation of an act of terrorism or for the purposes of terrorism, or of making it available to be so used. (2) It is irrelevant for the purposes of subsection (1) whether the act of terrorism to which an intention relates is a particular act of terrorism, an act of terrorism of a particular description or an act of terrorism generally. (3) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable, on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for life. (4) In this section— “radioactive device” means— a nuclear weapon or other nuclear explosive device; a radioactive material dispersal device; a radiation-emitting device; “radioactive material” means nuclear material or any other radioactive substance which— contains nuclides that undergo spontaneous disintegration in a process accompanied by the emission of one or more types of ionising radiation, such as alpha radiation, beta radiation, neutron particles or gamma rays; and is capable, owing to its radiological or fissile properties, of— causing serious bodily injury to a person; causing serious damage to property; endangering a person's life; or creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public. (5) In subsection (4)— “device” includes any of the following, whether or not fixed to land, namely, machinery, equipment, appliances, tanks, containers, pipes and conduits; “nuclear material” has the same meaning as in the Nuclear Material (Offences) Act 1983 (c. 18) (see section 6 of that Act).

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.
